On November 2, ACT, a research and management consulting company, published a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) document, Labor Law Amendments Concerning Labor Rights and Conditions.


The project assessed various aspects of economic and social impact.


The (RIA) framework considers two policy alternatives:


Alternative 1. "Do nothing", the so-called. The baseline scenario is to maintain the status quo until changes to labor laws are introduced in 2020. 


Alternative 2: Implementation of the new labor legislation adopted on September 29, 2020, and relevant related regulations in practice.


In the presented RIA, two alternatives were compared using multi-criteria analysis (MCA). The alternatives were compared in terms of both monetized and non-monetary impact. According to the analysis, the preferred alternative is Alternative 2 – implementation of post-amendment legislation in practice that better achieves policy goals and objectives and is in line with the country's sustainable development agenda.


The RIA document includes an assessment of a number of changes made to the Labor Code that came into force on September 29, 2020.
