Is it necessary to register the collective labor agreement with the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs?

Clause 5, Article 76 of the Labor Code 2019 stipulates the signing of collective labor agreements as follows:

The collective labor agreement must be sent to each signing party and to the labor specialized agency under the Provincial People's Committee as prescribed in Article 77 of this Code.

For sectoral collective labor agreements or collective labor agreements involving multiple enterprises, each employer and each representative organization of employees at the participating enterprises must receive one copy.

Article 77 of the Labor Code 2019 stipulates the sending of collective labor agreements as follows:

Within 10 days from the date the collective labor agreement is signed, the employer participating in the agreement must send one copy of the collective labor agreement to the labor specialized agency under the Provincial People's Committee where the headquarters are located.

Thus, according to current regulations, the collective labor agreement must be sent to the labor specialized agency under the Provincial People's Committee where the headquarters are located (Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs), not to undergo registration procedures.

Sincerely!
