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 />
