Labor Code

A labor code is a codification of all applicable labor law in one code ; mostly it is a summary of a larger sub-area of private law in the field of work.

The international labor standards conventions and recommendations adopted by the International Labor Organization (ILO) are known as the “International Labor Code”.

There are also labor codes in national law in France ( Code du Travail ), Lithuania ( Lietuvos Respublikos darbo kodeksas ), Poland , Russia , the Czech Republic and Hungary .

In Germany there was a labor code (AGB) only in the German Democratic Republic . Corresponding drafts, which had been drawn up in the Federal Republic of Germany during the 1970s, were subsequently not implemented. This is disadvantageous because it means that the legal sources of labor law are only fragmented, which makes familiarization with the subject matter and the application of the law difficult.

In Austria - as in the old Federal Republic - the draft labor code on Austrian labor law remained .

The federal law applicable in Switzerland on work in industry, trade and commerce is often referred to as the “labor law”.

In Lithuania was during the Soviet period ( Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic that) from 1973 to the end of 2002 the Labor Code of the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic . At the beginning of 2003, the Labor Code of the Republic of Lithuania came into force.
