Yes, but they're unevenly applied. The highest ranks of slaves are basically citizens without a say in what their job is or where they live. Below that you have increasingly dehumanized strata, the bottom two being legally subhuman chattel animals or inanimate objects, with legal protections (or lack thereof) appropriate for each. Slaves are also aware that they can be forcibly moved up and down these classifications for their behavior (potentially under pretense), and the lower you go the harder it is to rise back up a level. Once you hit the bottom, there's no route back up because objects can't aspire or improve themselves by definition, so the slave is permanently the legal peer of a cardboard box.
