Du Louage d'Ouvrage et d'Industrie

Labor Law
Titre XXII: Du Contrat de Louage (On the Contract of Lease)
Chapitre II: Du Louage d'Ouvrage et d'Industrie (On the Hire of Work and Industry)

Nul haytien ne pourra engager ses services que pour une entreprise déterminée ou pour un temps fixé.

Life lesson: No Haitian can be bound to serve indefinitely — every engagement must be for a specific job or a set time.
Notes: Prohibition of indefinite service engagement. Every labor contract requires either a determined task or fixed duration. Anti-servitude provision — fundamental to post-revolutionary Haitian law. Echoes 1805 Constitution's abolition of slavery.
