LABOUR LAW A person hired as statutory or a contractual employee assimilated to a statutory one in a permanent job of a public service official is not concerned with the provisions of this law.     Article 3:   In this law, any natural person or public or private organisation is considered as an employer and constitutes a company as soon as he is employing one or many employees even temporarily.   The company may be made up of many establishments, each of them being formed by a group of persons working together in a fixed location (factory, premises, working site, and so on ...) under the employer’s supervision.     Article 4:   Forced labour is absolutely forbidden. By forced labour, this law refers to any work or service required from an individual by threatening him/her with any penalty and for which the said individual has not freely offered himself/ herself.   However, “forced labour” does not mean:   a)         any work or service required from an individual in a peculiar case by virtue of laws on military service and allocated to activities of a purely military character; b)         from an individual following a sentence madeany work or service required by a court decision, on other activities contrary to those governed by the International Convention on the abolition of forced labour, but such work or service being carried out under the public authorities’ supervision and control and the said individual not being contracted out or put at the private individual disposal of an association or a grouping of people; c)         any work or service required in case of force major disaster, notably war, disasters or disaster threats such as fires, floods, famines, earthquakes, eruption and violent epizootic and in general, all circumstances endangering or risking to put in danger life or normal conditions of existence for the whole or part of the population; d)         work organised by local communities, when approved by the population or their direct representatives.   file:///D|/PROJECTS/RIPA/NEW%20SITE/Site%20Contents/wordFiles/LabourLaw.htm (2 of 59) [6/5/2003 6:10:37 PM]
