On August 5, 1919, by the decision of the Council of Ministers of the People's Republic of Azerbaijan, the Labor Inspectorate was established under the Ministry of Labor to regulate labor protection, wage rates and labor disputes. With the establishment of the inspectorate, labor protection control was concentrated in one department, and its sphere of control covered the entire territory of the republic.
A district inspector operated in each of the 8 regions of the country. The resolution of the People's Republic of Azerbaijan Parliament "On the Labor Question" dated December 7, 1918, determined the provision of insurance to workers in case of full or partial loss of working capacity.
After Azerbaijan regained its state independence in the early 90s, the reorganization of state institutions began. On January 27, 1997, the State Labor Inspectorate (SLI) was established under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population. In 2011, the State Labor Inspectorate Service (SLIS) under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population (MLSP) was established on the basis of the SLIS.
By Decree No. 386 of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated February 16, 2011, the “Regulations on the State Labor Inspectorate Service under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Azerbaijan” were approved.
SLIS is an executive authority that exercises state control over compliance with the requirements of the Labor Code and other normative legal acts included in the labor legislation system by legal entities operating in the country, branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities, and individuals (employers), regardless of their ownership and organizational-legal form.
When fulfilling its duties and exercising its rights, the Service directly and within its powers interacts with central and local executive authorities, trade unions, employers' associations, local self-government bodies, as well as international and non-governmental organizations. The Service has an independent balance sheet, state property at its disposal in accordance with the legislation, treasury and bank accounts, a seal with the image of the State Emblem of the Republic of Azerbaijan and its name engraved on it, relevant stamps and forms.
The Service participates in the development of state policy in the field of state control over compliance with labor legislation.
