Labor Reform

The president of Honduras's national tourism chamber said the part-time employment law, which requires a minimum 18-hour work week, is incompatible with tourism's needs and that the industry is pushing for hourly-based employment instead.

The president of Tegucigalpa's Chamber of Commerce and Industries says Honduras's newly approved part-time employment law is a step forward but contains ambiguities that limit its effectiveness, and urges government, Congress, and stakeholders to form a dialogue table to strengthen and clarify the law through consensus.
