A Moroccan parliamentary commission has unanimously approved a bill extending standard labor law protections to private security agents. The legislation mandates that private security personnel be subject to the regular working hour provisions outlined in the country’s Labor Code. However, implementation of the new rules will be delayed by nine months following the bill’s official publication. This phased approach aims to allow security companies time to adjust to the new regulations. The decision follows consideration by the education commission within the Chamber of Counsellors. The bill’s passage marks a significant step towards improved labor standards for Morocco’s private security sector.
