Frequently asked questions
How much compensation for unlawful termination in Egypt?
Not less than two months’ wage for each year of service under Article 165, where an indefinite contract is terminated for an illegitimate reason.
What about fixed-term contracts?
New under Law 14 of 2025: one month’s salary for each year of service if the employer terminates before expiry.
What is the notice period?
Three months for indefinite-term contracts regardless of length of service, replacing the old two-or-three-month split.
