Labour Compliance Obligations and Procedures in Cambodia

6 February 2016

Under the newly established Inter-Ministerial Prakas No. 377 of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, the base daily wages to be used for the calculation of the penalties for any enterprise that does not comply with the Labour Law was increased from 8,000 Riels to 40,000 Riels per day. For instance, the penalty for any enterprise which does not have the internal regulations as required by article 22 of the Labour Law is increased from the maximum of 240,000 Riels to 1,200,000 Riels.
