What is last workday with differing notice periods in employer's and MOHRE contract?
Hi,
I need advice on the termination of my contract and notice period. I'm in the first year of my second fixed-term contract with my employer (a school) and was terminated on March 21st due to restructuring.
My employer's contract states that I must give one term's notice, so they want my last working day to be July 5th.
However, my MOHRE contract states that "the terminating party shall notify the other party of such desire 3 months as a prior notice before the determined date of termination, such period shall be similar for both."
My employer argues that because we had a two-week spring holiday followed by a one-week Eid holiday, my notice period does not include the holidays.
Can you please advise on what my last working day should be? Additionally, what is the correct end date of the notice period, and how can I get my employer to agree?
Dear Questioner,
Thank you for reaching out to Lex Resolvo for legal guidance regarding your employment contract terms.
After reviewing the terms of both the MOHRE contract and the agreement provided by your employer by a specialized lawyer, if it appears that the MOHRE contract terms are more favorable to your interests, we recommend relying on these terms.
Such terms hold significant weight before the Ministry and the court in the event of a conflict between the two contracts.
