The Labor Law was ratified in 1999, and the authors of the amendments believe that a number of the law's articles don’t meet today’s needs and are outdated. The amendments cover relations between employers and employees, clarifying rights and obligations.

The amendments also include articles that would place restrictions on the employment of minors, workplace discrimination, establishing employment agreements without time constraints for permanent employment, part-time employment regulations, remote working regulations, basing salaries on skills and abilities, annual vacation requirements, and new regulations for vacation days for mining sector employees who work far from home for extended periods.
