Under the Labor Law issued by Royal Decree No. 53 of 2023, an expatriate is entitled to one month's basic wage for each year of service from 26 July 2023. Service before that date is calculated under the previous law: 15 days for each of the first three years and 30 days for each year after that.
Step by step
- 1
Split the service period
Before 26 July 2023 and after it.
- 2
The daily wage
Monthly basic wage ÷ 30.
- 3
The earlier period
15 days for each of the first three years and 30 days for each year after that, under Royal Decree No. 35 of 2003.
- 4
The later period
30 days, that is one month's basic wage, for each year.
- 5
Add the two parts
Award = award for the earlier period + award for the later period, with part years counted pro rata.
Calculating the whole period under the new rule, or all of it under the old one, is a common mistake, since the law separates the two periods at 26 July 2023.
