Employment Termination in Morocco: Rights and Remedies
Moroccan Labour Law 65-99 rigorously governs employment termination. Dismissals enacted without substantiated grounds or disregarding mandatory preliminary hearings constitute unlawful dismissals.
An adversarial preliminary hearing must take place within eight days of noticing the alleged fault, allowing the employee representation. Failure to observe this invalidates the dismissal procedure.
Victims of abusive dismissal are entitled to cumulative statutory benefits: notice pay, legal dismissal indemnity, paid leave balance, and punitive damages calculated at 1.5 months per service year (capped at 36 months).
