National Labour Law Profiles
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/dialogue/ifpdial/info/national/index.htm
The National Labour Law Profiles that you will find on this site intend to provide a rapid overview of the labour law in a number of ILO member States. Their purpose is to facilitate a general understanding of how the labour law works in each country, and to provide the reader with easy access to information on a number of topics. However, the profiles do not intend to give a comprehensive description of the labour law in any country. Where appropriate, a bibliography and a list of links is given, directing the reader towards more in-depth information.
While some National Labour Law Profiles have been prepared by serving ILO officials, others have been contributed by scholars, practitioners or magistrates from different countries; the ILO would like to extend its deepest thanks to these individuals.
Furthermore, while it is our intention to update the information contained in these pages as often as possible, there will undoubtedly be lapses and we apologize for any dated information.
What information can be found in the National Labour Law Profiles:
* Constitutional framework
* Labour regulation
* Contract of employment
* Hours of works
