Is it possible to apply the old labor law while a new labor law is issued?

Dear sir/madam,

Does an employer have the right to calculate the end of service money by applying the old labor law (considering only 7 days for 1st-year completion)?

I have resigned from my job after completing one year, 4 months, and I understand that according to the new labor law, the end of service money should be paid 21 days of the full salary (not basic).

How can I protect my entitlement?

Could you please advise on this regard?

You will get 21 days of your basic salary only.

Is the 21-day "end of service gratuity" applicable only to the employment contract which is signed after the amended labor law?

I have signed an employment contract in November 2020 and resigned from my job on 11 February 2022.

Am I eligible to get a 21-day "end of service gratuity" for completion of each year?

Hello,

The old law cannot be applied if a new law is in force.
