Legal security for domestic workers in Moroccan law

Abstract

The legal security of domestic workers is the legal basis that can establish trust between them and the employer, especially after Morocco has ratified a set of agreements in this respect, and given that this type of work is characterized by a set of exceptions, as well as it is subject to a set of customs for the most part of it. Moreover, it is difficult to be comprehensively subjected to the Employment Act due to the nature of the accomplished work and the place where it is performed and this was the reason why the legal jurisprudence of the legislator is remaining the only solution. consequently, after issuing a set of recommendations in this field, the Moroccan legislator in line with a group of countries decided to enrich them with a law that is capable of protecting the relationship between these workers and the employer and supporting those recommendations with a set of decrees in order to raise the level of guarantees for workers, promote their rights, prevent the exploitation of children in domestic work, as well as fight brokers who exploit the social situation of some families.
