Abstract

Texts are dynamic realities that enrich themselves with their use. Thus, the experience gathered from the master's dissertations at UNTL, over the years 2016 and 2017, allowed to observe some documental deficiencies that could not be found in the manual published in 2015. Then, from this version arose the idea of building a 2^nd edition, more developed and adjusted to the bibliographic requests of graduate and postgraduate studies in labor law in Timor-Leste.

Texts are dynamic realities that enrich themselves with their use. Thus, the experience gathered from the master's dissertations at UNTL, over the years 2016 and 2017, allowed to observe some documental deficiencies that could not be found in the manual published in 2015. Then, from this version arose the idea of building a 2^nd edition, more developed and adjusted to the bibliographic requests of graduate and postgraduate studies in labor law in Timor-Leste.
In order to make it easier to access the legislation related to dependent work, it was decided to attach the diplomas on labor law, public service and social security for State workers. The inclusion of these legal texts does not, however, dispense the consultation of the Jornal da República.
Like the previous one, this 2^nd edition falls within the scope of the participation of the Faculty of Law of the University of Porto and CIJ-FDUP in the collaboration protocol signed between the Portuguese Universities and the Faculty of Law of the National University of Timor-Leste.
Given that the material in this book is essentially about the individual employment contract, all the articles referred in it without indicating the diploma to which they belong are related to the Labor Law (Law No. 4/2012, 21 February).
