Employment & Labor Law

Employment & Labor protection

Build a compliant, fair, and efficient workplace

From field workers to technical teams, Morocco’s cannabis industry depends on strong labor structures. We help cooperatives and companies ensure every role is protected by law, every policy meets compliance, and every worker is treated fairly—so your cannabis business runs smoothly, safely, and legally.

Why Employment & Labor Law Matters

The cannabis industry in Morocco includes everything from seasonal farm labor to executive hires in licensed facilities. Under GACP and Moroccan labor law, employers must register workers, issue formal contracts, and provide fair working conditions. Without compliance, operators risk penalties, delays, and disputes. We help businesses and cooperatives implement proper labor practices and resolve employment issues with confidence.
