Maintaining the same spirit
as the Labor Contract Act. The Labor Contract Act, adopted on June 29, 2007, was enforced on January
1, 2008, and is supposed to better protect the interests of employees than the
provisions of the former 1994 Labor Act, in several respects: 1/ it promotes
permanent contracts by limiting appeal to fixed-term contracts, 2/ it provides
for compensation at the end of fixed-term contracts, 3/ it provides a framework
for the compensation clause, agreed in advance, in the event that the terms of
the contract are not respected by the employee, 4/ it lays down strict
standards for the provision of labor.
