WAIVER CLAUSESIN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
LEGAL INSIGHT TO SAFEGUARD WORKER RIGHTS
To protect the rights of the worker and ensure a balance in the employment relationship. If there is a provision in the employment contract through which the worker waives any of his protected rights under the law, such a provision is considered null and void, and not binding. For example, if an employee is about to sign an employment contract with a company, and the contract includes a clause stating that the employee waives the right to receive overtime pay, this clause is deemed invalid and not enforceable. The employee can still claim overtime pay under all circumstances, as certain rights, including overtime pay, cannot be waived according to Iraqi labor law
Refer to Article 56 of Iraqi Labor Law No. 37 for the year 2015.
Note: For a precise i
interpretation and application of legal provisions, it’s recommended to consult a
legal professional or refer directly to the official legal documents.
