THE LAW BEHIND THE HUSTLE-INTRODUCING LABOUR LAW IN GHANA



 

If you run a business in Ghana and you hire people to help you, then labour law is something you need to understand. Why? Because the moment someone starts working for you, the law gets involved. With the Revised Labour Bill, 2024, Ghana just raised the bar on employer responsibilities and employee protections.

What Is Labour Law?
Labour law is the set of rules that controls the relationship between employers and workers. It protects both sides. It creates structure and it ensures that business is done the right way. Labour law covers areas like contracts of employment, working hours and leave, equal pay and permitted deductions, termination and dismissal, rights of vulnerable groups including persons with disabilities, women and young workers, workplace safety, harassment, compensation  and more.

Why Should You Care?
You could be breaking the law without even knowing it and the cost of non-compliance? You don’t want that. There can be fines, lawsuits, revoked contracts  or even damaged reputation.
Over the next few days, we will be breaking down key sections of Ghana’s Labour Law in a way that’s simple, clear and practical,  especially for business owners, side hustlers, managers  and anyone employing others.
This is your legal guide to building a business the right way.

Stay tuned. Stay compliant.
