Employee rights in the private sector

Employee rights in the private sector


The public sector differs from the private sector in the rights employees enjoy at work, as follows:

Drafting an employment contract that specifies the terms of employment between the employer and employee, such as salary, working hours, vacation time, and termination procedures.
Paying wages at a rate no less than the minimum set by local law.
Determining permissible working hours and compensating for overtime, if applicable.
Ensuring paid annual leave, sick leave, and all other legally recognized holidays.
Labor law prohibits discrimination between employees based on gender, race, religion, national origin, or disability.
Providing social insurance to employees to protect against disability, unemployment, retirement, or healthcare.
Employers must provide health and preventive care to employees as determined by the Ministry.
The company pays wages at least once a week to daily workers and once a month to employees with monthly wages.
Friday is the weekly day of rest for all employees, but it may be replaced by another day after notifying the relevant labor office. The employer must allow employees to perform their religious duties. The weekly rest period shall not be less than 24 hours and shall be fully paid.
The employee shall not be subject to the authority of the employer outside of regular working hours or during vacation or rest periods.
