Egypt's new Labour Law, Law No. 14 of 2025, has changed the rules for every employer in the country. It reshapes the framework for contracts, termination, collective relations and dispute settlement, and most employment documentation now needs a second look. For multinational employers, the challenge is aligning group HR policies with Egyptian requirements on social insurance, work permits and disciplinary procedure, where a single procedural error can turn a routine exit into a costly claim.
