Employment in Ethiopia follows the Labour Proclamation, which governs contract types, working hours, and worker protections. Most positions are offered on fixed-term contracts lasting one to two years, renewable by agreement. Employers request educational certificates, references, and often conduct background checks before hiring. Standard working hours are 48 per week across six days, though some sectors operate on five-day schedules. Workers must hold a valid identification document and, for certain roles, relevant professional credentials. Overtime is compensated at rates set by individual agreements or collective bargaining, not statutory minimums. The working year aligns with the Ethiopian calendar, creating distinct seasonal patterns in hiring and project cycles.
