Constitutional Council Upholds Retirement Law
The Constitutional Council has settled the controversy surrounding the law regulating the retirement rights of contracted employees in the Ministry of Information. It decided to dismiss the challenge submitted by some parliamentarians and keep the law in effect. The law grants contracted employees in the Ministry of Information, whose contracts were executed according to specific criteria, the rights to retirement and separation from service. It also entitles them to receive pension benefits under the same conditions applied to permanent employees. This decision represents an important step in addressing the situation of workers with various contractual arrangements in public administrations and institutions. It raises questions about the breadth of reform of Lebanon's employment system—is this an exceptional measure or the beginning of a comprehensive overhaul of the contractual employment issue across other administrative sectors?
