Kram <strong>March</strong> <strong>13</strong>, <strong>1997</strong> Labor Code<br />

The apprenticeship contract is terminated lawfully:<br />

Article 64:<br />

1. By the death <strong>of</strong> the instructor or the apprentice.<br />

2. If the apprentice or the instructor is obliged to serve in the army.<br />

3. If the instructor or the apprentice is imprisoned for a felony or misdemeanor.<br />

4. By the closure <strong>of</strong> workshop or enterprise, specified in the above articles.<br />

An apprenticeship contract may be terminated at the request <strong>of</strong> one or both parties, particularly in the following cases:<br />

1. In case either party does not comply with the stipulations <strong>of</strong> the contract.<br />

2. In case <strong>of</strong> serious or usual violation <strong>of</strong> the provisions in this chapter.<br />

3. In case the apprentice obstinately does not respect internal regulations.<br />

If the instructor moves his residence to Sangkat (section) or Khum (commune) other than the one in which he lived at the<br />

signing <strong>of</strong> the contract. Nevertheless, a request for termination <strong>of</strong> contract for this reason is acceptable only within three<br />

months following the day when the instructor moved.<br />

Either party considers to be damaged by the unjustifiable termination <strong>of</strong> apprenticeship contract, can demand for<br />

compensation from the other party.<br />

Article 65:<br />

CHAPTER IV<br />

THE LABOUR CONTRACT<br />

Section 1<br />

Signing and execution <strong>of</strong> a labor contract<br />

A labor contract establishes working relations between the worker and the employer. It is subject to common law and can<br />

be made in a form that is agreed upon by the contracting parties.<br />

It can be written or verbal. It can be drawn up and signed according to local custom. If it needs registering, this shall be<br />

done at no cost.<br />

The verbal contract is considered to be a tacit agreement between the employer and the worker under the conditions laid<br />

down by the labor regulations, even if it is not expressly defined.<br />

Article 66:<br />

Everyone can be hired for a specific work on the basis <strong>of</strong> time, either for a fixed duration or for an undetermined<br />

duration.<br />

Article 67:<br />

A labor contract signed with consent for a specific duration must contain a precise finishing date.<br />

The labor contract signed with consent for a specific duration cannot be for a period longer than two years. It can be<br />

renewed one or more times, as long as the renewal does not surpass the maximum duration <strong>of</strong> two years.<br />

Any violation <strong>of</strong> this rule leads the contract to become a labor contract <strong>of</strong> undetermined duration.<br />
