Question: How can I protect my employment rights in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq?

Answer: In the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG), employment rights are protected under the Iraqi Labor Law No. 71 of 1987, which governs labor relations in the region, as KRG has not adopted a separate labor law. However, it’s important to note that the applicable labor law depends on the location of your employment contract. If you work for a company registered in Erbil or elsewhere in the KRG, the 1987 law applies to your employment. On the other hand, if you work for a company registered in Baghdad, the Iraqi Labor Law No. 37 of 2015 applies, as this law governs federal Iraq and replaced the 1987 law for areas under federal jurisdiction. Therefore, it’s essential to understand which law applies based on where your company is registered to fully protect your employment rights.pending on the circumstances.
