Employing in El Salvador
Workers' rights in El Salvador are protected by:
- The Salvadoran Constitution of 1983,
- The Civil Code of 1859, and
- The Labour Code of 1972
— all of which guarantee equal pay for equal work and protections against discrimination based on age, religion, gender expression, and race.
