النص السائد في حالة وجود تعارض في فترة الإخطار

عقد غير محدد المدة في منطقة حرة. ينص عقد العمل الرئيسي على أنه يجب على الموظف خدمة فترة إخطار لا تقل عن 30 يومًا.

ومع هذا، وقع كلا الطرفين ملحقًا ينص على أنه يجب على الموظف الآن خدمة فترة إخطار لمدة 3 أشهر.

ما الذي يجب اعتباره والعمل به في هذه الحالة؟ هل هو العقد أم الملحق؟

The addendum prevails if it was agreed on and signed by both parties after the agreement.

If both documents have the same date, the clauses contradicting are therefore invalid and the employer shall fix them and make it clear.

Thank you for your response.

If the employer insists that there is no need of a “fix” on such “details” and the addendum must be followed under any circumstance, and are even telling the employee that they might file an absconding case (for only rendering 30 days and failure in completing the 3-month notice), is that legally possible? What should the employee do?

That clause will be considered invalid in court.

So if you want to avoid going into dispute, respect the 3 months' notice. You can put a claim in the Ministry of Human Resources.

Thank you.

Kindly confirm which clause is invalid in court and please advise further about your statement that I can put a claim in the Ministry of Human Resources.

Do I have the firm ground to proceed in filing a complaint directly to the DHCC regulatory board?
