At the same time, investigations revealed that the employment contracts of 26 employees had been terminated in violation of legislative requirements. These individuals, who were illegally dismissed, have been reinstated to their previous positions.
The State Labor Inspection Service continues to monitor the protection of labor rights across the Republic of Azerbaijan to ensure compliance with the Labor Code. Such measures are part of the government's broader social policy aimed at strengthening social justice and ensuring the legal rights of the workforce. Under the current regulations, employers found in violation of wage payment schedules or illegal termination protocols face administrative penalties and are required to rectify all discrepancies immediately.
