Iranian labor law

Iranian labor law describes the rules of employment in Iran. As a still developing country, Iran is considerably behind by international standards. It has failed to ratify the two basic Conventions of the International Labour Organization on freedom of association and collective bargaining, and one on abolition of child labor.[1] Countries such as the US and India have also failed to ratify many of these Conventions and a mere 14 other Conventions, only 2 since the Islamic Revolution.[2]

The basic sources of Iranian labor law are,[3]

  • The Constitutions and its amendments (1906, 1907, and 1979)
  • Civil laws "Ghanon Madani"
  • Council of Ministers and Ministry of Labor decrees and procedures (Aein Nameh)
  • Judiciary verdicts and cases
  • Collective bargaining contracts and agreement
  • Common practices and occupational norms
  • International Labour Organization (ILO)
  • ILO Conventions
  • ILO Recommendations
  • Other international declarations and agreement
