What the law guarantees, in plain language, with the rule named.
Most workplace disputes do not start with bad faith — they start with neither side knowing what the law says. This section works through Labour Law 13/2023 and Mozambican practice at the points where that happens most: the contract and what it must state, probation and how long it can run, working hours and overtime, annual leave, maternity and paternity leave.
It also covers what happens when the relationship ends: what counts as just cause, how severance is calculated, and what to do when a dismissal does not follow the law. And what sits behind it all — social security contributions, disability and survivor pensions, and the retirement age.
The articles name the specific rule rather than summarising it loosely, and they say where to file a complaint: the Labour Inspectorate and the sector unions. None of these texts replaces legal advice on a specific case — they exist so you know what to ask.
