Employment Law For Embassy Staff

Summary

Locally employed staff at US embassies are typically governed by the labor laws of the host country, such as the Labor Code of the Kyrgyz Republic in Bishkek. This includes regulations on working hours, leave, and termination. US labor laws generally do not apply, but internal embassy policies may influence employment conditions. If facing issues like retaliation or false accusations, it is important to document incidents and seek guidance based on local laws and embassy regulations.
