Verbal Termination Is A Violation To The Labor Law

Category: Termination

An employer or company has no right to verbally terminate any employee for any reason, local daily Al-Anbaa reported quoting Acting Director of the Public Authority for Manpower Abdullah Al-Mutawtah.

The labor law in the private sector stipulates that termination should be done through an official letter signed by the employer and has a specified date, while an employee is given the legal 90 days’ termination period, he explained.

“Verbal termination is a violation to the labor law, and such practice is subject to punishment according the law,” he explained.
