MP Mohammed Al Maarafi has proposed an amendment to the Labour Law for the private sector so that an employer and foreign worker can determine the leaving indemnity and write it in the employment contract.
The amendment to Article 116 of the Law specifies “A worker who is not subject to the provisions of the Social Insurance Law shall be entitled upon the termination of his employment to a leaving indemnity at a rate as may be agreed by the employer and worker and mentioned in the employment contract .
