Courses

Law No. 12/23, Angola's General Labour Law, changed the rules of the game: fixed-term contracts, probation, remote working, working hours, overtime, holidays, absences, pay, discipline and dismissal. In this advanced course you will work through the Law chapter by chapter, always with the article cited, and learn to apply it in the day-to-day running of a company: drafting valid contracts, conducting a disciplinary procedure within the deadlines, organising working hours, and calculating the hourly wage, overtime, holiday pay and termination compensation using the Law's own formulas. With case studies in a fictional company, decision scenarios, knowledge checks in every module and a downloadable checklist for each module. The course is based on the text of the Law and is informative only: it does not constitute legal advice. Designed for HR directors and officers, managers, payroll teams, employers and workers. The course is delivered in Portuguese.
