Labor Law
Labor Law governs the rights, duties, and relationships between employers and employees. In the Republic of Cameroon, Labor Law is primarily guided by:
- The Cameroon Labor Code (Law No. 92/007 of 14 August 1992), which outlines employment standards, contracts, workplace safety, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
- International Labor Organization (ILO) Conventions, which establish global standards for fair treatment in the workplace.
- OHADA Uniform Acts, which regulate employment within corporate environments across member states.
Labor Law ensures fair treatment, prohibits discrimination, protects wages, and enforces safety and health standards in workplaces.
