IEL Monitor - user guide
The IEL Monitor is a fully searchable resource that catalogues incoming and recently enacted employment and labour legislation.
The My Monitor feature allows users to save items for greater ease of tracking; My Monitor entries can also be exported to PDF.
Users can search by Geography (country or region), Status, Timeline, and Subject:
- Status
Each entry in the Monitor is catalogued according to the stage it is at in the legislative process. Our four stages are as follows:
PROPOSED - the initial stages of the legislative process
DRAFT - the first formal draft has been released but is subject to amendments and approvals
ENACTED - the relevant authority has approved the final draft
EFFECTIVE - the legislation is in force
- Timeline
Users can search by timelines to capture all incoming legislative changes. Searches can be refined by geography, status, and/or subject, and key words.
- Subject
Our subject taxonomy has been developed alongside HR teams and private practice experts from across the world, and is divided into umbrella categories and subcategories.
