That’s why, this research sought to find out the level of employees’ awareness of labour regulations, to investigate its level of implementation and respect and to examine the challenges hindering its effective implementation. A descriptive survey design was adopted, with the use of a multi-stage sampling techniques (purposive, stratified and convenient) to select participants. Structured questionnaire, interviews and documentary review were employed to obtain primary and secondary data. A sample size of 320 respondents was used. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics with simple percentages and frequencies. The findings showed that, employees are aware of Labour laws and regulations, while the level of effectiveness of employment contracts is low, and lastly, there are some challenge hindering the effective implementing of Labour regulations, amongst which the most prominent was the absence of labour control. The study concluded that, labour laws are a roadmap for employees and employers within a work place, and its understanding to both players is a necessary priority. The study recommended that, the policy makers should monitor the effective implementation of Labour regulations and that more trade unions should get involved in creating employees’ awareness.
