Substitutes numerous sections of the Labour Law. The law shall not apply to civil servants, domestic workers, seafarers, family and casual workers, and most agricultural workers (section 2).

S. 14 prohibits recruitment and employment agencies from exacting fees from workers. S. 62 provides for rest periods for female employees to nurse their infants for two years following birth. Other substituted provisions regard foreign workers, labour contracts, apprentices, hours of work, overtime, dismissal, annual leave, and penalties for contravention of the Law.
