100-day probation period would be mandatory
A 100-day probation period would be mandatory, while the length of contract can be open or limited, as agreed between the employer and employee.
Described as a ‘unified contract’, it would protect the rights of both the worker and employer, Arab Times said. Any additional clause that does not concur with the labour law would be null and void, while any conflicts would be settled in court.
The authority, which was established to help better coordinate labour and expatriate issues, also is reportedly close to finalising a new labour contract, to come into force at the beginning of 2016.
