After more than 7 years in force, the Angolan National Assembly is currently finalizing the process for the full amendment of the General Labor Law approved by Law no. 7/15, of 15 June 2015. The proposed changes will be quite relevant, notably regarding remuneration standards and on the hiring and termination of employees. The intention is to have more employee-friendly rules, nonetheless there is a heated debate on some proposed amendments and their potential implications in the labor market. This Vlog is aimed at discussing the amendment process and its main ramifications for companies and employers.
