Better Factories Cambodia has revised its Guide to the Cambodian Labour Law for the Garment Industry for 2020. This comprehensive guide brings together all sources of Cambodian labour law, derived from the Labour Law itself, regulations of the Royal Government, international labour standards that have been ratified by Cambodia, and the Cambodian Constitution. It also includes references to the sources of the information from the Arbitration Council (AC) decisions.

This book is intended to be a guide to Cambodian labour law, and should not be construed as legal advice. In addressing problems relating to working conditions or workplace relations, it may be necessary to consult an expert such as a labour inspector, a lawyer or a representative of your employers’ association or union federation.

There are 12 major topic areas which are covered in this Guide. They include 1) Regulating Employment, 2) Hiring Employees, 3) Categories of Employees, 4) Wages, 5) Working Hours and Overtime, 6) Public Holidays, Leave and Other Benefits, 7) Occupational Safety and Health, 8) Work-Related Accidents and Illnesses, 9) Disciplining and Dismissing Employees, 10) Dispute Resolution, 11) Unions and Shop Stewards and 12) Documentation, Record Keeping, Posting.
