العدالة النافذة بدلاً من العدالة الناجزة 1239
سبق أن نشرنا على هذا الموقع مقالاً عن العدالة الناجزة، وأشرنا إلى أن المعنى الصحيح لهذه الفكرة ينبغي توجيهه إلى التنفيذ، بحيث يظهر فيه عنصر الإنجاز، وتتجلى فيه صفة السرعة، وذلك بدلاً من إصدار الأحكام ذاتها بسرعة كبيرة ثم تخديرها في مرحلة التنفيذ حتى تموت.

View allThe maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
