Labour Act 2004

The Labour Act 2004 establishes the legal framework governing employment relationships, workers' rights, and employer obligations in Nigeria. It regulates key aspects of employment, including contracts of employment, wages, working hours, leave entitlements, protection of wages, termination of employment, and the employment of young persons.

The Act sets out the minimum standards applicable to many employment relationships and remains a foundational statute for employers, employees, human resource professionals, legal practitioners, and businesses navigating Nigeria's labour and employment law framework. Although certain aspects of employment are also governed by judicial decisions and other legislation, the Labour Act continues to serve as one of the primary statutory references for workplace regulation in Nigeria.
