"Guide to the Cambodian Labour Law for the Garment Industry" (English, 2014) is a widely used reference document published by the International Labour Organization (ILO) Better Factories Cambodia (BFC)

However, the guide clarifies exceptions. The law does not generally apply to:

Fixed Duration Contract (FDC): This contract must be in writing and have a specific end date. It cannot exceed two years; if it does, or if it is renewed beyond two years, it may automatically convert into a UDC.

Courts: Labour disputes may be appealed to the Court of First Instance and then the Appeal Court, but arbitration was the preferred route for collective disputes.

Night Work: Any work performed between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM is classified as night work and must be compensated at a rate of 130% of the normal wage.

One day an official from a worker support center came to their neighborhood offering free legal clinics. The group invited her to the mango-tree meetings. She was impressed by the care in the notes and by how many disputes were resolved informally. She asked for copies to use at other factories and offered a stack of printed leaflets in response. The Guide’s narrow print reached farther than its binding.
