On June 29, 2023, Law No. 273-Z "On amending laws on labour
relations issues" was signed, significantly changing the
Labour Code of Belarus. This law will enter into force on January
1, 2024. Here are some details of the new regulations.
1) Employers will have the right to determine in local legal
acts (such as Internal work regulations) how many parts labour
holiday can be divided into. Previously, it was possible to
determine more than 2 parts of the labour holiday or prohibit
dividing it only in collective agreements, contracts. After that,
employers must refer to the local authority to register the
amendments to the collective agreements, contracts. Nonetheless,
Internal work regulations can be changed without notifying state
authority.
