Try these sample questions to review concepts for the ENA Section Travail et Sécurité Sociale exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 25+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which feature is central to identifying a worker under Senegal's employment-law framework?
A.Working only for a government ministry
B.Possessing a business registration number
C.Performing remunerated professional activity under another person's direction and authority
D.Choosing to describe every payment as a commercial invoice
Explanation: The employment relationship turns on the substantive relationship of remunerated work and direction or authority. A contractual label alone does not replace examination of how the work is actually performed.
2Under the 2026 Code du Travail, what form is required for a contrat d'engagement à l'essai?
A.Writing
B.An oral statement by either party alone
C.A supervisor's private intention
D.A trial-period label added only after termination
Explanation: The Code requires the trial engagement to be recorded in writing and provides a CDI consequence if it is not. Other applicable formalities must also be observed; calling ordinary employment a trial is insufficient.
3An employer begins an employment relationship under an entirely oral purported trial agreement, then invokes the special freedom to terminate a trial. Which analysis follows the 2026 Code?
A.The employer can create a written trial agreement retrospectively by describing it in the dismissal letter
B.The missing writing has the Code's CDI consequence, so valid-trial termination rules cannot simply be assumed
C.The worker is automatically an independent contractor
D.The absence of writing makes all wages already earned repayable
Explanation: The Code expressly requires writing for trial engagement and equates its absence to an indefinite-term relationship. An analysis of termination must therefore start from the actual legal status, rather than import the special rule for a valid trial.
4Under the ordinary 2026 CDD rules, a worker completes a two-year fixed term and its single two-year renewal, then continues working beyond that cumulative maximum. No statutory exception applies. Which conclusion follows?
A.A new two-year CDD begins automatically without limit
B.Only the employer's preferred label determines status
C.The relationship remains a trial engagement
D.Continuation beyond the applicable maximum has the Code's CDI consequence
Explanation: The 2026 Code's ordinary rule allows a CDD of at most two years, one renewal or extension, and a cumulative maximum of four years. Continuing outside the permitted limits has a CDI consequence, subject to the statutory exceptions expressly excluded in this case.
5Which evidence most directly supports characterizing a departure as démission?
A.A clear, unequivocal decision by the worker to end the employment contract
B.A manager's assumption that a complaint means resignation
C.A single disputed absence without inquiry into intention
D.An employer's decision to remove the post
Explanation: The 2026 Code defines resignation as an unequivocal termination initiated by the worker. A complaint, uncertain absence or employer-initiated job removal should not automatically be reclassified as voluntary resignation.
6Which principle governs workers' constitution of professional trade unions under the Code du Travail?
A.The employer must authorize the union's choice of officers
B.A union can be formed only after a collective dispute has begun
C.Workers within the statutory professional scope may freely constitute and join unions, subject to the prescribed formalities
D.Membership is compulsory whenever an employer recognizes a union
Explanation: The Code protects professional union formation and membership while specifying formalities and scope. Employer control of the union would undermine the freedom the rules protect.
7Why should founders of a professional union distinguish freedom to organize from the statutory deposit formalities?
A.Freedom to organize means no statutory document can ever be required
B.The Code protects organization while also prescribing filing of the union's statutes and governing-member information
C.Filing is the employer's discretionary approval of the union's programme
D.Only minutes of a first industrial dispute must be filed, without statutes or governing-member information
Explanation: The Code provides both substantive freedom and formal procedures for constitution of a union. Compliance with filing requirements must be examined without treating them as employer authorization of the union's views.
8An employer says a staff delegate committed misconduct and proposes immediate dismissal without requesting labour-inspector authorization. What distinction is decisive?
A.Alleging misconduct automatically ends delegate protection
B.The delegate may never face any employment sanction
C.An internal investigation always replaces external authorization
D.The alleged ground and the mandatory protected-dismissal procedure are separate; inspector authorization must be addressed
Explanation: The Code requires prior labour-inspector authorization for dismissal of a protected staff delegate. The employer's view of the merits does not itself dispense with that safeguard, although the Code separately regulates measures such as precautionary suspension in specified circumstances.
9An applicable collective agreement grants more favourable leave than the statutory minimum. An individual contract grants less than that applicable protection. Which approach best reflects the Code's favourability principle?
A.Examine and apply the more favourable binding protection rather than assume the individual signature waives it
B.Always apply the least favourable provision
C.Treat collective agreements as optional advice in every case
D.Use whichever document was printed most recently, regardless of legal effect
Explanation: The Code allows collective provisions more favourable to workers than the statutory baseline. An individual agreement cannot simply be assumed to remove the binding protection applicable to the worker.
10Which statement best describes the right to strike in Senegal's constitutional and employment framework?
A.It is never recognized for any worker
B.It automatically removes every procedural obligation
C.It is recognized, with its exercise governed by applicable laws and procedures
D.It permits an employer to select the union's demands
Explanation: The Constitution recognizes the right to strike within the framework of laws governing its exercise. Recognition of the right and compliance with its applicable procedures are separate questions.
