Djibouti`s labour legislation regulates the employment process in the country. Employment contracts in Djibouti can be concluded both orally and in writing. Most contracts are drawn up in the national language. According to the obligation, contracts must include: name and address (employee and employer), job description, salary with method of payment (to be paid at the beginning of the 8 days of the month), benefits and probationary period (if applicable). Let`s look at benefits, working hours, holidays, etc. under Djibouti`s labor laws. A breach of contract occurs when there is a refusal to work, bodily injury or breach of secrecy or unjustified absence from work. An employee is entitled to compensation in the event of unfair dismissal.
This can vary between 2 months and 6 months of salary, depending on the number of employees working under the employer. These are additional costs that go beyond the employee`s gross monthly salary and/or bonus. An employment contract may also be terminated due to non-performance or inability to perform due to workplace requirements. It can also include health reasons, lack of professional skills, and even misconduct. For all such cases, 48 hours` notice will be sent to the employee.
