Labour-Law

Official English translation of Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 published

After long wait, Law Ministry has published the English translation of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006. On September 28, 2015, the official gazette was published.

In the absence of no official English translation, people who do not speak Bangla, had to depend on unofficial translations. The official translation will solve that problem. However, in the event of conflict between the Original Bangla text and English translation, the original Bangla text will prevail. Also without the English translation of the Labour Rules 2015, it would be difficult to interpret the law properly by the English speakers.

Bangladesh Labour Rules 2015 published

After much delay, Bangladesh government has introduced the Bangladesh Labour Rules 2015 on September 15, 2015 through a gazette. Government was under pressure from various sources to promulgate the Labour Rules for a long time.
