The contractual relationship in Moroccan labour law

It must be considered that after the elaboration of the Moroccan labour code in 2004, the question remained as to how fruitful, juicy and profitable its translation into the labour field would be. Indeed, an assessment of its applicability had been checked even before its position. However, after its use, a number of complexities in its implementation became apparent.

Businesses found it difficult to comply with it, given its demanding nature, because it was seen as a difficulty to accumulate earnings. This problem was an obstacle to the organisation of relations between employers and employees. Subsequently, Moroccan companies are convinced that the respect and fair application of labour legislation constitutes a considerable guarantee for their long-term prosperity.

Morocco has made significant efforts to adopt the policy of opening up to the European market through free trade agreements. The Moroccan government, with the help of professional organisations, is therefore striving to lay the foundations for social security.
