10 Strange Employment Laws You'll Find Across the Globe

Imagine being banned from growing a beard? Or for wearing a hat at work? Bit harsh, right? These are real (odd) employment laws that exist today.

Do you love living on the edge and breaking the rules?

Then pick your working environment carefully. Because if you break the wrong rules, the repercussions can be huge.

What if breaking a rule costed you income? Or even your job?

And some laws are quite unique. You may not even know you’re doing something wrong...

That’s why we compiled this helpful infographic by Legacy Citizenship.

Unsure if this is relevant to you?

If you have a beard, these guidelines are important. Did you know you can’t wear one when employed by the municipality of Isesaki, Japan?

Yes, these are all—strange—documented laws. And there are much more around the globe.

Stay informed, so you're on the right side of the law and can keep enjoying your work.
