    as every country has its own peculiarities, but added that the course
    will help future organization of labor.

    The Armenian labor inspectorate was established in 2004 by a government
    decision, the law on labor inspectorate was passed in 2005 April. With

    Within three years since the enforcement of the law employers across
    the country have to make their labor conditions conform with the
    requirements of the Labor Code. The main function of the inspectorate
    is to supervise these conditions. The inspectorate will organizes a
    series of seminars for employers to help them.
