Legal Issues: 10 Days Away, Job at Risk
The article addresses the issue of dismissal due to employee absenteeism in Bahrain, focusing on the legal procedures outlined in Bahrain's Labor Law No. (36) of 2012. Article (107) specifies that an employer may terminate an employee's contract due to continuous absence for more than ten days or intermittent absence exceeding twenty days within a single work year, provided certain conditions are met. These include issuing a written warning after five days of continuous absence or after ten days of intermittent absence. The article emphasizes that exceeding these durations does not automatically entitle the employer to immediate dismissal; legal requirements must be fully observed, including having a valid reason and following proper legal procedures. It highlights the importance of understanding the rights and obligations of both parties to prevent arbitrary termination, stressing the need to adhere to the law to avoid violations or legal disputes.
