Egypt: Labour Law No. 14 of 2025 enters into force

On 1 September 2025, Labour Law No. 14 of 2025 enters into force, establishing remote work as an employment model within the national labour framework. Remote work is formally categorised alongside part-time work, flexible work, and job-sharing, with all models subject to the general provisions of employment law. The Law affirms that remote workers hold the same rights and duties as those in traditional employment, including social protection, social insurance, minimum wage entitlement, access to training and skill development, and the exercise of collective bargaining and freedom of association under Law No. 213 of 2017. It further requires the conclusion of written contracts for remote work, either in paper or electronic form, and assigns responsibility to ministerial authorities for issuing implementing measures to regulate its practical application.
