Not legal advice.|Self-assessment software for general guidance, based on Tanzanian employment legislation — not a legal audit. For any active issue, consult a qualified Tanzanian employment lawyer. KaziLaw is software, not a law firm — it organises Tanzania's labour law so it is easy to search and understand.
🔒Legal citations, fix-it guidance, and your gap breakdown are part of Enterprise. Your score and where you stand are always free.

Employment compliance self-assessment

Work through each item and mark whether your organisation complies. Every item is tied to a specific provision of the Employment and Labour Relations Act, the Labour Institutions Act, or the Code of Good Practice. Your answers are saved on this device only.

Scope: employment & labour-relations law only. It does not cover occupational safety, workers' compensation, social security, tax, or work permits — those are governed by other statutes (see the plans below).
