Article 43 of Private Sector Labour Law

English translation

If a worker is imprisoned because of an accusation made against him by the employer, whether in pretrial detention or in execution of a non-final judicial judgment, he shall be deemed suspended from work, and the employer may not terminate his contract unless he is convicted by a final judgment. If a judgment is issued acquitting him of the charge or charges brought against him by the employer, the latter shall be obliged to pay his wages for the period of his suspension, together with fair compensation assessed by the court.
Arabic original
إذا حبس العامل بسبب اتهام صاحب العمل له حبسا احتياطيا أو تنفيذا لحكم قضائي غير نهائي، اعتبر موقوفا عن العمل ولا يجوز لصاحب العمل إنهاء عقده إلا إذا أدين بحكم نهائي. وإذا صدر حكم ببراءته من التهمة أو التهم التي أسندها إليه صاحب العمل التزم هذا الأخير بصرف أجره عن مدة وقفه، مع تعويضه تعويضا عادلا تقدره المحكمة.
