What to know before you sign
Contract type under the new law, workplace, commission, housing and tickets, overtime and any non-compete must be in writing. A verbal promise from the employer usually cannot be proved in a dispute.
Termination, gratuity and visas
Termination without notice or a valid ground can attract compensation. End-of-service is calculated on basic wage and length of service. Visa status after termination is urgent; delay can break residency.
- Termination and probation clauses
- Calculating and claiming end-of-service
- Unfair-dismissal complaints through MOHRE
- Staff handbooks for employers
Frequently asked questions
I was dismissed without notice — what am I owed?
You may be owed notice pay, end-of-service and in some cases compensation. Send the contract, payslips and the termination messages.
Is a non-compete enforceable?
Only if time, place and subject are reasonable. An over-broad clause is often narrowed or dropped.
