Collective agreements: South Sudan
South Sudan’s labour ministry publishes the Labour Act 2017. This framework is distinct from an agreement negotiated with an employer or branch. No sufficiently documented named agreement has been retained here.

No named agreements documented in this guide
The legal framework and research leads are presented below. No statute, wage order or announcement of negotiations is counted as a collective agreement. Failure to locate a text does not prove that no agreement exists in the country.
View available sourcesHow do you identify the applicable agreement?
- 1
Check the employer’s situation
For an NGO or business in Juba, request the signed agreement covering its employees and implementing instruments; do not treat Sudan’s Labour Act as belonging to the same country.
- 2
Obtain a named agreement before drawing conclusions
Request exact title, signatory parties, date, appendices and evidence of registration or extension where required. Check beneficiaries, exclusions and amendments; a law permitting bargaining does not prove an agreement was signed.
- 3
Keep payroll rules separate
Do not infer collectively agreed pay or a numerical entitlement from this guide. Site calculations remain based on their fiscal and social sources, without adding an assumed scale.
Sources and verification method
Entries distinguish consulted texts from references only identified in a catalogue, announcement or secondary source. A link to a reproduction is not official certification. Desk research does not replace checking signatures, filing, extension, amendments and any termination with the court registry, labour authority or signatories. No agreement is inferred merely because an industry exists.
Editorial summary: Kernel. Practical cases are illustrative, not determinations of applicability. English translations are informative; the original text prevails. This information is not legal advice.
