Economy, tax incentives & labor conditions

Most industries are still state-owned and are run by government appointed boards of directors who set wages. Despite the law, an effective system of collective bargaining between unions and enterprise management has yet to be established.

Azeri nationals employed by foreign companies, notably oil companies, often face discrimination. In many cases they are hired on short term contracts for as little as three months, then dismissed from their positions. They are forced to work overtime, and do not receive annual holiday pay or compensation for occupational injuries or diseases.
