The Employer’s Responsibility for the Legal Tasks of the Contractor Against his Workers According to the Labor Law; Challenges and Solutions

This article discusses Article 13 of the labor law, which places responsibility on employers for any contracts their contractors make with workers. Employers must ensure that contractors comply with all labor law obligations towards workers and that contracts are based on this. However, this legal duty conflicts with the principle of relativity of contracts. This paper takes a descriptive-analytical approach and aims to provide solutions to the challenges of implementing Article 13. It asks how contractors can modify their contracts with employers and take necessary measures to ensure compliance with the law. The paper identifies challenges such as unclear contract terms, lack of approval for necessary regulations, uncertainty about responsibility for workers' rights violations, and ambiguity in jurisdiction over complaints. To address these challenges, the paper suggests improving the legal system through quasi-legislative and executive resolutions such as approving an executive directive for Article 13 and clarifying the extent of employer and contractor responsibility. Some solutions are already in use while others are innovative.
