Morocco Labor Law (Code du Travail): Your Rights as Worker or Employer

CDI (permanent contract) provides job stability. CDD (fixed-term contract) is limited to temporary roles with limited renewals and automatically converts to CDI if the employee continues working after expiry.

For wrongful dismissal (licenciement abusif): the employee is entitled to notice period indemnity, severance pay based on seniority, and additional damages set by the court. Appeals can be made to the Labor Inspector or Social Tribunal.

After 6 months of continuous service: 1.5 working days per month (18 days/year), increasing by 1.5 days per 5 years of seniority. Workers under 18 get 2 days per month.

During the notice period (préavis), the employee is entitled to 2 hours off daily (or 8 hours weekly) to seek new employment. The employer must continue paying full salary. Failure to give notice requires the employer to pay the corresponding indemnity.
