Employment

Employment means contract, working time, pay, rights and duties.

Employer

Employers in Brunei organise employment, hire workers, pay wages and assume duties concerning working hours, records, safety and health. They include private companies, government or statutory employers, and private households acting as employers. Responsibilities are distributed among several bodies, particularly the labour department (Department of Labour), the employment service (JobCentre Brunei), the workplace safety authority (SHENA), the employee trust fund (TAP), the immigration authority and the company and business-name registry (ROCBN). Requirements depend, among other things, on worker category, sector, contract and employer form.

Unemployment

Unemployment in Brunei describes a period without paid work while a person is seeking work and available to start; people with a confirmed future start date can be treated differently in official statistics. Brunei has no evidenced direct unemployment-insurance scheme or automatic cash payment based only on unemployment. Support instead combines JobCentre Brunei vacancy matching, targeted welfare, labour-law remedies and transition programmes.

Labor market

Brunei's labour market comprised around 232,000 people in the labour force in 2025; the labour force participation rate was 66.5 percent and the unemployment rate was 5.0 percent. In 2024, 69.8 percent of employed people worked in the private sector and 30.2 percent in the public sector. Trade, construction, public administration, services, information and communication technology, and technical occupations shape employment and change.

Professions

Professions in Brunei cover public administration, energy, construction and engineering, manufacturing, commerce, finance, ICT, transport, health, education, hospitality, agriculture and professional services. In the latest complete occupation profile for 2024, 222,700 people aged 15 and over were employed; service and sales workers formed the largest group at 51,100, followed by professionals at 39,700 and technicians and associate professionals at 33,000. Entry depends on the occupation: an employer may assess skills and experience, while regulated work requires qualification recognition, registration and a practising certificate or licence. Local and foreign access also differs because Brunei prioritizes local recruitment and ties foreign-worker permissions to a specific employer, occupation and purpose.

Business

Business in Brunei can be organised as a Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, company or foreign company branch. The choice affects personal liability, ownership, registration, tax and ongoing filing duties. Registration with the Registry of Companies and Business Names (ROCBN) through the One Common Portal (OCP) does not by itself authorise every activity, because premises and sector approvals may also be required.

Ajira chini ya mwajiri nchini Brunei inajumuisha kutafuta kazi, kukubaliana mkataba wa ajira, kupokea malipo, kufanya kazi chini ya mipango ya mwajiri na kumaliza uhusiano kupitia kusitishwa kwa ajira au kuisha kwa mkataba. Wafanyakazi wa kigeni kwa kawaida huhitaji mchakato wa idhini unaoanzishwa na mwajiri, na kibali cha kazi (work pass) huhusishwa na ajira mahususi. Kwa hiyo, kumaliza kazi kunaweza kuhitaji kufutwa kwa kibali husika cha kazi. Waajiri wanajumuisha kampuni binafsi, waajiri wa serikali au taasisi zilizoanzishwa kisheria na kaya binafsi. Majukumu yao yanaweza kujumuisha mishahara, saa za kazi, kumbukumbu za ajira, usalama na afya mahali pa kazi. Wajibu hugawanywa kati ya taasisi kama Idara ya Kazi (Department of Labour), Kituo cha Ajira cha Brunei (JobCentre Brunei), mamlaka ya usalama na afya kazini (SHENA), mfuko wa akiba wa wafanyakazi (TAP), mamlaka ya uhamiaji na Ofisi ya Usajili wa Kampuni na Majina ya Biashara (Registry of Companies and Business Names). Mahitaji yanayotumika hutegemea aina ya mfanyakazi, sekta, mkataba na aina ya mwajiri. Ukosefu wa ajira unaeleza kipindi ambacho mtu hana kazi ya kulipwa huku akitafuta kazi na akiwa tayari kuanza. Tarehe ya baadaye ya kuanza kazi iliyothibitishwa inaweza kuathiri jinsi ukosefu wa ajira unavyoshughulikiwa katika takwimu rasmi. Kuwa bila ajira hakutengenezi peke yake malipo ya fedha ya moja kwa moja chini ya mfumo wa bima ya ukosefu wa ajira. Msaada unaweza badala yake kuchanganya ulinganishaji wa nafasi za kazi kupitia kituo cha ajira, ustawi unaolengwa, suluhisho za sheria ya kazi na programu za mpito. Nguvu kazi ya Brunei ilikuwa takribani watu 232,000 mwaka 2025. Kiwango cha ushiriki katika nguvu kazi kilikuwa asilimia 66.5 na kiwango cha ukosefu wa ajira kilikuwa asilimia 5.0. Mwaka 2024, asilimia 69.8 ya walioajiriwa walifanya kazi katika sekta binafsi na asilimia 30.2 katika sekta ya umma. Takwimu hizi zinaeleza soko la ajira kwa ujumla na haziamui mtu kupata kazi fulani. Taaluma nchini Brunei zinajumuisha kazi katika utawala wa umma, nishati, ujenzi na uhandisi, uzalishaji, biashara, fedha, teknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano, usafirishaji, afya, elimu, ukarimu, kilimo na huduma za kitaalamu. Katika wasifu kamili wa ajira wa mwaka 2024, watu 222,700 wenye umri wa miaka 15 na zaidi walikuwa wameajiriwa. Wafanyakazi wa huduma na mauzo walikuwa kundi kubwa zaidi wakiwa watu 51,100, wakifuatiwa na wataalamu 39,700 na mafundi pamoja na wataalamu wasaidizi 33,000. Mwajiri anaweza kutathmini ujuzi na uzoefu kwa baadhi ya kazi, huku kazi zinazodhibitiwa zikihitaji utambuzi wa sifa (qualification recognition), usajili na cheti cha kutekeleza taaluma (practising certificate) au leseni. Shughuli za biashara ni chaguo jingine la kazi. Brunei inaruhusu miundo ya biashara kama umiliki wa mtu mmoja (Sole Proprietorship), ubia (Partnership), kampuni na tawi la kampuni ya kigeni (foreign company branch). Chaguo hilo huathiri dhima binafsi, umiliki, usajili, kodi na majukumu ya kuwasilisha taarifa yanayoendelea. Usajili katika Ofisi ya Usajili wa Kampuni na Majina ya Biashara kupitia Lango la Pamoja la Huduma (One Common Portal) hauidhinishi kiotomatiki kila shughuli; idhini za eneo la biashara na vibali mahususi vya sekta pia vinaweza kuhitajika.
