Employment Laws
Pakistan is a federal republic that consists of four provinces – Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh – and the Federal Capital Territory (Islamabad). Employment & Labour Laws in Pakistan are governed by multiple federal and provincial laws including Industrial Relations Act 2012; Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance 1968; Shops And Establishments Ordinance (The Ordinance), 1969; Industrial Relations Act 2012; Payment of Wages Act 1936; Protection against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act 2010; Minimum Wages Ordinance 1961; The Factories Act, 1934; Employees’ Old-Age Benefits Act 1976; Provincial Employees’ Social Security Ordinance 1965; and Pakistan Occupational Health and Safety Act 2018. Provincial acts, such as the Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa labor laws, also apply depending on the employee’s location.
While the above laws are applicable to workers and employees, the employment of managers is mainly governed by their applicable employment agreements (ie, it is an employment at will).
Worker classification & employment contract
Employees are classified into categories such as permanent, probationer, temporary (fixed-term), contract worker, apprentice, or badli (alternate). Written employment contracts must clearly define the role, wages, benefits, probation, and termination terms in line with the applicable laws.
Record keeping & documentation
Employers are required to maintain proper employment records, wage registers, and statutory filings to remain compliant with inspections or audits.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Under federal and provincial laws (except those of Balochistan), employees who have completed 12 months on the job have the right to avail 14 days of annual leave with full wages. In Balochistan, workers who have completed 12 months on the job have the right to avail 20 days of annual leave with full wages, while non-managers have the right to avail 14 days of annual leave with full wages.
Sick leaves
Under federal and provincial laws, employees are entitled to sick leave for a total period of eight days with full wages in a year. Such leave, if not taken, may be carried forward, but the total accumulation of such leave must not exceed 16 days.
Maternity leave
Maternity leave varies for female employees in different provinces. In Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, it is 12 weeks, in Baluchistan, it is 14 weeks + 4 weeks in case of medical complications, and 4 weeks in case of miscarriage or termination of pregnancy. In Sindh, it is 16 weeks, 1 week in case of miscarriage, 4 weeks in case of stillborn, and 4 weeks in case of medical complications.
Public Holidays
Under federal and provincial laws, employees are also entitled to one holiday per week and 10 festival holidays per year, as notified by the employer at the beginning of the year. This is the case in every province except Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where employees are allowed holidays on all days declared by the provincial government to be festival holidays
Casual Leave
Under federal and provincial laws (except Balochistan), employees are entitled to a total of 10 days of casual leave with full wages in a year. However, in Balochistan, employees are entitled to a total of 10 days of casual leave with full wages in a year.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly
Notice periods & documentation
Under federal and provincial laws (except those of Balochistan), for permanent workers and non-managers, an employer is bound to give at least one month of prior notice. In the case of permanent employment, an employer is bound to give at least one month of prior notice
Severance & final payouts
There is no legal requirement for the employer to give an end-of-service gratuity or any other severance pay to employees other than workers. However, if there is a requirement to give severance pay under the employment contract or any other internal policy governing non-workers, the employer is bound to pay such a gratuity as laid down therein.
