FAQ
Frequently asked questions: employment law
How is compensation for unfair dismissal calculated in Morocco?
Article 41 of the Labour Code sets damages at one and a half months' salary per year or part-year of service, capped at thirty-six months. In addition there is severance pay (arts. 52 and 53), payment in lieu of notice and, where applicable, the CNSS job loss allowance.
What is the time limit for taking legal action against an employer in Morocco?
Claims arising from the employment contract are time-barred after two years (art. 395 of the Labour Code). An attempt at conciliation before the labour inspectorate is possible but not mandatory before bringing the case to the labour section of the Court of First Instance.
