Labour code

Last updated

A labour code, (also called a code of labour laws) is a codification of labour laws in legislative form.

Contents

One of the first labour codes was first introduced in 1918 in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, as a legal framework underlying the requirement to ensure the right to work declared in the first Soviet Constitution in 1918. [1]

In the aftermath of World War II, other socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe - such as the German Democratic Republic, the People's Republic of Hungary, and the People's Republic of Poland - passed labour codes based upon the same set of social guarantees.

As of 2023 Labour Codes operate in the Russian Federation and in some other former Soviet Republics.
