⚖️ Legal Regulations

The Labor Code of Tunisia governs working conditions. The standard legal workweek is 48 hours, typically spread over 6 days. Employees are entitled to paid annual leave, and public holidays are non-working days. Specific regulations may exist for overtime compensation and sector-specific work arrangements.

💡 Insights

A common practice in Tunisia is to take a replacement holiday when a public holiday falls on a weekend, affecting the total annual working day count. The typical work schedule often includes a long midday break, especially in the summer. Work culture can involve flexible start and end times in some sectors.
