The Work Order Act (German: Arbeitsordnungsgesetz - officially Gesetz zur Ordnung der nationalen Arbeit) of 20 January 1934 was the basis for labour relations in Nazi Germany.
This was first attempted by establishing the position of a Trustee of Labour, who was tasked with fixing minimum wages and overcoming class tensions in businesses and companies.
The position of the Trustee of Labour was further expanded, as the law gave them the power to directly intervene in the affairs of individual businesses and companies.
A court of honour was set up under each trustee, which was empowered to relieve factory leaders in case of serious misconduct or breaches of trust.
After the end of World War II the Work Order Act was repealed by Control Council Law (Kontrollratsgesetz) No.
