Ministry of Labour
Labour Advice (Mobile Application)
The Ministry of Labour is dedicated to sustaining a strong and effective labour administration
system by formulating policies based on the International Labour Organisation (ILO)
Conventions ratified by Guyana in order to promote the tenets of stable industrial relations,
occupational health and safety and integrated employment opportunities and training for the
nation’s workforce towards greater economic and social development. This is facilitated through
two main programmes: Policy Development and Administration, and Labour Administration
Services.
One of the essential services offered by the Ministry is advice to trade unions, employers and
employees in the event of an industrial dispute. Our new mobile application provides an easy and
quick way to access our advisory services. This app is designed to give workers and employers
convenient, efficient and user-friendly tools to stay informed about their rights and seek
assistance when necessary.
The Ministry of Labour is committed to providing transparent, accessible, and efficient services
to all. Through our mobile app, we aim to make our advisory services more accessible, ensuring
that everyone can benefit from their rights and protection afforded by the laws.
