Article 51 of Private Sector Labour Law

The worker shall be entitled to an end-of-service gratuity as follows: -a- Ten days’ wages for each year of service during the first five years and fifteen days’ wages for each of the following years, provided that the gratuity shall not exceed one year’s wages, for workers who receive their wages daily, weekly, hourly or by the piece. b- Fifteen days’ wages for each of the first five years and one month’s wages for each of the following years, provided that the total gratuity shall not exceed one and a half years’ wages, for workers who receive their wages monthly. The worker shall be entitled to a gratuity for fractions of a year in proportion to the part thereof spent at work. The amount of any debts or loans that the worker may owe shall be deducted from the end-of-service gratuity payable to the worker. In this regard, the provisions of the Social Insurance Law shall be observed, provided that the worker shall be entitled to the full end-of-service gratuity upon the termination of his service with the entity for which he works, without deduction of the amounts borne by that entity in respect of the worker’s participation in the Social Insurance Institution during his period of employment. This provision shall apply as of the date on which the aforementioned Law No. (6) of 2010 came into force.
