In our October 2015 newsletter, we published an article regarding the (then) imminent Ministry of Labour ministerial Decisions. At the time of writing, the Minister of Labour had not yet released the official Decisions or the revised Ministry of Labour (MoL) prescribed form employment contract. Having now received the official Decisions and revised MoL employment contract, we have updated our commentary below. By way of reminder, the Decisions took effect from 1 January 2016. They do not formally amend Federal Law No 8/1980, as amended, on the Regulation of Labour Relations in the Private Sector (Labour Law) and only have direct effect to employment relationships governed under the MoL's jurisdiction.
