Dear Customer,                                                        

Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like to inform you that if you want to leave your work, you shall distinguish between two things:

1) If your employment contract is definite and you want to leave work before the end of its term, in this case, if you wish to leave work, the employer shall be compensated equivalent to a half-month wage for each month remaining of the contract term provided that the amount of compensation does not exceed the wage of 3 months.

2) If the employment contract is indefinite, you shall give a notice to the employer that you want to leave the work before 30 days or before the period specified by the contract or you will be forced to compensate the employer for a wage of months, but the law gave you the right to terminate the contract without notice if the employer did not fulfill his obligations stipulated in the contract or the law or if the employer or his representative attack the worker.

Article (116):

Where a contract is revoked by the worker for reasons other than those specified in Article (121), he shall be required to compensate the employer for any damage the latter sustains as a result, provided that the amount of compensation shall not exceed half a month wage for three months or for the remaining period of the contract, whichever is shorter, unless otherwise stipulated in the contract.

Article (117):

1. Either the employer or the worker may terminate an indefinite term contract for a valid reason at any time following its conclusion, by giving the other party a notice in writing at least 30 days prior to termination.

2. For the daily-paid workers, the notice period shall be as follows:

• One week: if the worker has been employed for more than six months but less than one year.

• Two weeks: if the worker has been employed for not less than one year.

One month: if the worker has been employed for not less than five year.
