Project start: Committee initiated in 2004.
End of project: official launch in 2005.
Committee Director: Sophie Balsamo.
Committee members: Cécile Garbatini, Bettina Biancheri, Pascale Gomez.
Objective: Creation of the "Employer's Guide", a collection of all the labor laws in Monaco.

Foreword by the Director of Committee

This guide was born of a desire of the Junior Chamber International of Monaco: update our "Practical Guide to Employer and Employee" published in 1986 and give economic Monaco a reference work in the social field.

This document, produced with the documents now in our possession and subject to any modifi cation of laws and regulations to come, is intended to provide general information about the daily management of your company and possible answers to social issues .

However, this guide does not pretend to cover all the laws, nor any case law. Administrative services and professionals of the Principality will supplement and clarify your questions.

Our thanks go to all those who, through their contributions and encouragement, we have made this book. Special thanks to the Department of Economic Development, the Fiscal Services and the Directorate of Labour and Social Affairs for their valuable help.

I would like to acknowledge the work and the involvement of members, Bettina Biancheri, and Pascale Garbatini Cécile Gomez, who made completion of this work and Alexandre Tomasini for creating the cover of this Guide.

Thank you, dear reader, the confi dence that you show in the Junior Chamber International of Monaco.

Sophie Balsamo
Director of Committee
