Article 14 explained in plain English
This Article specifies the law governing the employment relationship between the Center and its personnel, who are subject to two laws:
- the Labor Law.
- the Social Insurance Law.
The practical meaning is that the relationship of the Center's personnel with it is governed by the Labor Law, and their insurance coverage by the Social Insurance Law. This Article contains no other details on the rights or obligations of the Center's personnel; the reference for that is the provisions of the two laws mentioned.
This provision comes in the third chapter on the Center's budget, after Article 13, which lists its resources. It is connected to Article 15, which makes the Statute effective from the date of its publication, so this provision applies to the Center's personnel from that date. Anyone with a question about his employment contract with the Center should refer to the provisions of the Labor Law itself, and for subscription and insurance coverage to the Social Insurance Law.
Note that the text is general in its wording "the Center's personnel" and does not except any category of them.
