Abstract
According to Federal LAW NO. (1) of 1980, establishments are classified into three different categories. Category 1 is the first category and includes establishments that are governed by this law. Category 2 is the second category, and it is further classified into four levels, namely (a), (b), (c), and (d). Finally, Category 3 is the third category. Within each of these categories, workers are classified into two groups: “skilled” and “with limited skill” workers. This classification system helps to identify and differentiate between establishments based on their level of complexity and the skills required of their workers.
