Hello there.

You are right. Half salary for the first 3 years and full salary for the fourth and so.

However, the calculation of indemnity is based on the basic salary declared in LMRA.

Please note that we cannot fully advise you without knowing and reviewing your employment contract.

I think that is for the expatriates. Is it the same for Bahrainis?

I mean LMRA deals with expats. What is the indemnity law for Bahrainis and what benefits do I have if I get terminated?

Thanks a lot for your reply, Sir.

Bahraini and Non-Bahraini are the same computation of Indemnity. Half a month's salary for the first 3 years and one month's salary for each year of service thereafter.

The indemnity will be calculated on the most recent basic pay.

With regards to the other end-of-service benefits, what can be claimed depends on the type of contract.

And about the termination we still have to know the reason for termination.
