1997 Labour Code
employment law in Sudan
The 1997 Labour Code is a Sudanese law regulating employment. It replaced the Manpower Act of 1974.
It sets forth the organization of employment (including provisions for women and juveniles), contracts of service, wages, working hours and leave, termination of employment, after-service benefits, and miscellaneous other provisions. It also lists categories of persons who are exempt from the act, among them domestic servants, agricultural workers other than persons employed in establishments that process agricultural products, and casual workers.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “1997 Labour Code” is employment law in Sudan. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Labour, Code and employment, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “employment law in Sudan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 7, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q104864489. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997 and 1974.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
