As part of the awareness initiative initiated by the Public Authority for Manpower through its official websites regarding the application of Labor Law provisions, the Authority has released a communication directed at employers.
This communication emphasizes the imperative for employers and employees alike to adhere to the legal stipulations related to the dismissal of an employee without notice, compensation, or rewards, as mandated by the law. Such actions are warranted in specific situations outlined by the law, including:
— Instances where an employee’s mistake results in significant losses for the employer.
— Situations where it is substantiated that the employee secured the position through fraudulent or deceptive means.
— Cases where the employee discloses establishment secrets, leading to actual or potential substantial losses.
The Authority further asserts that employers are granted the right to terminate employment under the following circumstances:
— Conviction of the employee for a crime against honor, trustworthiness, or morals.
— Engagement in conduct within the workplace that violates public morals.
— Commission of assault against a colleague, employer, or representative during or as a result of work-related activities.
— Violation or non-compliance with obligations outlined in the employment contract and legal provisions, especially in instances where the employee recurrently disobeys the employer’s directives.
