4 data that the law requires to be mentioned in the individual employment contract in the private sector

Labor Law No. 12 of 2003 specified the data included in the individual employment contract, including a special chapter under the title “Individual Employment Contract,” and stipulated that the provisions of this chapter apply to the contract under which a worker undertakes to work for the employer and under his management or supervision in exchange for a wage. Article (32) stipulates that the employer is obligated to write the employment contract in Arabic in three copies. The employer shall keep one copy and deliver one copy to the worker, and the third shall be deposited with the competent social insurance office.

According to the article, the contract must include in particular the following information:

(a) The name of the employer and the address of the workplace.

(b) The worker’s name, qualification, profession or trade, insurance number, place of residence, and whatever is necessary to prove his identity.

(c) The nature and type of work subject to the contract.

(d) The agreed-upon wage, the method and timing of its performance, as well as all other agreed-upon cash and in-kind benefits. If there is no written contract, the worker alone has the right to prove his rights using all means of proof.

Pursuant to the article, the employer gives the worker a receipt for the papers and certificates he has deposited with him.

Article (33) stipulates that the probationary period must be specified in the employment contract, and the worker may not be appointed on probation for a period exceeding three months or appointed on probation more than once with one employer.
