The Labour Code refers to the internal regulations and/or in-house regulations of companies in certain of its articles, but it does not lay down any definition or any specific provisions regarding such regulations.
It is, however, accepted that the terms of internal or in-house regulations contain rules to determine the conduct of the corporate partners in the performance of their respective obligations deriving from the employment contract.
Definitions
in French law:
Internal regulations are taken to mean:
Quote: “[Employment law] A written document, emanating from the head of the company, which sets out measures for application of the regulations on health and safety, general and permanent rules concerning discipline and in particular the nature and scale of penalties, provisions relating to rights of defence of employees who may be penalised, the legal provisions of the Labour Code concerning sexual harassment and bullying.”

The Luxembourg case law customarily refers to French legal literature, according to which internal regulations contain the general and permanent provisions designed to ensure an orderly workplace and to guarantee the proper functioning of the company.
