In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Komlavi Atsou (shareholder, Cleveland) and Patty Shapiro (associate, San Diego) provide an overview of employment law basics and common employment practices in Djibouti. Komlavi and Patty discuss probationary periods, definite and indefinite contracts, and requirements for ending the employment relationship. They also cover working hours, the statutory overtime rate, and rest breaks. They round out their conversation with a review of the Djibouti Labour Code’s requirement that employer’s provide paid leave for family emergencies and events, including marriage, birth of a child, and death of a close family member.
