Egypt: Labour Law No. 14 of 2025 was signed by the President

On 3 May 2025, the President signed Labour Law No. 14 of 2025, which was published on the same day and is scheduled to enter into force on 1 September 2025, following the completion of a ninety-day period from its publication. The Law introduces remote work as a formally recognised model of employment. Remote work is categorised alongside other work models, including part-time work, flexible work, and job-sharing, all of which fall under general employment provisions. The framework establishes that remote workers are entitled to the same rights and obligations as workers engaged in traditional employment, including access to social protection, social insurance coverage, minimum wage guarantees, professional training opportunities, eligibility for skill development measures, and the right to collective bargaining and freedom of association under Law No. 213 of 2017. The Law also requires that remote work arrangements be governed by a written contract, which may be executed in paper or electronic form, and mandates the issuance of ministerial decisions to regulate specific aspects of remote work.
