Frequently Asked Questions
Does a company need a labor lawyer even before a dispute arises?
Yes. In practice, having a labor lawyer helps the company review contracts, internal procedures, and termination decisions before they turn into a claim or complaint — reducing risk and clarifying the correct legal decision at the right time.
Is a ready-made contract template enough for all employees?
No. The Labor Law requires that the employment contract be in writing, drawn up in Arabic, in two copies with one for each party; if drafted in a language other than Arabic, an Arabic copy must be attached. It is therefore best to tailor the contract to the role and the nature of the obligations rather than relying on a single template for everyone.
Is it permissible to terminate an employee's contract during the probation period?
Yes, this is permitted if the probation clause is expressly stated in the employment contract, and the reason for termination during this period relates to the employee’s unsuitability for continuing in the role.
What should a company do immediately after receiving a labor complaint?
Start by reviewing the contract, warnings, correspondence, wage records, and any documents related to the dispute, then submit a structured legal response instead of an ad hoc reply. The Ministry of Labor also allows companies to register and follow up on labor complaints through its announced channels.
Is filing a labor complaint costly or time-consuming?
According to the service published by the Ministry of Labor, there are no fees for filing a complaint, and the announced processing time at this administrative stage is 5 working days.
What is the minimum annual leave for a private-sector worker?
A worker who has completed at least one year of service is entitled to a minimum of 30 days of paid annual leave.
Can a company reduce its workforce when closing operations or restructuring?
An employer may terminate an employment contract due to full or partial closure, a reduction in the scale of operations, or replacing one production system with another in a way that affects the workforce — provided this is done in accordance with the requirements of Article 110 and with notification to the Ministry of Labor through the designated service.
