    "content": "The second part of the Question is to elaborate the policies and regulations of support systems in place to ensure fair treatment and conducive working conditions. Regulations of wages and conditions of employment as stipulated in the Labour Institutions Act, 2007; the Employment Act, 2007; and the Employment (General) Rules, 2014 provide the following: Minimum wages for various cadres of workers in different sectors, the hours of work, the entitlement to one rest day per week, the entitlement to annual leave after every 12 months of service, provision of sick leave after working for two months and rights of workers under a contract of service. The other issue is on support systems. The Ministry handles labour disputes reported by workers or their union representatives. It carries out labour inspections for purposes of assessing compliance with terms and conditions of employment by all employers, including employers in the informal sector. The Ministry offers advisory services to employers and workers in both formal and informal sectors on various provisions of labour laws, with an aim of enlightening them on fair labour practices."
