The Government has taken no concrete action to implement longstanding legislation authorizing establishment of minimum wages. There is no legislatively prescribed workweek. Government is the major employer in the cash economy. Employment laws provide rudimentary health and safety standards for the workplace. Employers must, for example, provide an adequate supply of clean water for workers and ensure the existence of sanitary toilet facilities.
Employers are liable for the expenses of workers injured on the job.
The Government's ability to enforce employment laws is hampered by a lack of qualified enforcement personnel.
