The Order of Labour (Serbo-Croatian: Orden rada / Орден рада, Slovene: Red dela, Macedonian: Орден на трудот) was a Yugoslav civil decoration awarded to both civilians and military personnel for outstanding work performance.[1] It was established in May 1945, and had three classes.[2] In 1961, the classes were renamed: Order of Labour with Red Banner (formerly 1st class), Order of Labour with Golden Wreath (formerly 2nd class) and Order of Labour with Silver Wreath (formerly 3rd class).[3]

In 1998, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia adopted a new Law on Decorations that kept most of the decorations of the Socialist Yugoslavia, with some additions.[4][5] The Order of Labour was retained, but now had only a single class.
