A Landmark Reform For Egypt's Workforce

Egypt has enacted the New Labor Law of 2025 — a milestone in protecting workers' rights, promoting fair employment, and aligning national regulations with international standards.

The Law was published in the Official Gazette on 3 May 2025.

Job Security and Fair Termination

The new law prohibits unfair dismissal, allowing termination only through a final judicial decision, reinforcing stability and preventing arbitrary job loss.

Empowering Women in the Workplace

Women receive stronger protection and extended maternity rights, including four months' leave, reduced working hours, and protection against dismissal due to pregnancy or marriage. (Article 54)
