Guide for global employers: Employee rights
About the author
Rocio Carracedo Lopez is an international legal editor with more than 10 years' experience as a researcher, writer and editor in multi-jurisdictional employment law.
Overview
General employment rights, such as the right to take family-friendly leave, to be paid the correct minimum wage and to be protected against discrimination in the workplace, are common across the globe. However, specific entitlements vary significantly.
This guide gives HR teams in global organisations an understanding of the various rights that may apply to employees across the world and sets out the options when deciding what terms and conditions to apply to employees. We consider different legal frameworks, cultural norms and employee expectations as well as organisational factors such as operational efficiency, organisational objectives and budgetary considerations.
