Decision No. 520 of 2023 Approving Dual Employment Matching Results

The Council of Ministers approved matching results identifying cases of dual employment submitted by the Ministry of Labor's Information and Documentation Center. The Ministry of Finance is directed to take necessary procedures regarding identified dual employment cases. The decision is effective immediately from August 27, 2023.

This decision signals intensified enforcement against dual employment practices in Libya, targeting individuals holding multiple government or formal sector positions simultaneously. Foreign companies employing Libyan nationals should audit their workforce to ensure no employees hold concurrent positions elsewhere, as Ministry of Finance action on identified cases likely includes salary recovery and potential penalties. Companies with public sector contracts or joint ventures with state entities face heightened scrutiny, as dual employment enforcement typically extends to entities receiving government funds.
