resulted in a gross loss to the employ-
er.
2. If it is evident that the labourer has
used any fraudulent act or cheating to
obtain the work.
3. If the labourer discloses any se-
crets related to the firm he works for
which caused or could have caused
certain losses to it.
b) The employer may terminate
the labourer in one of the following
cases:
1. If the labourer has been convicted
of a crime affecting honor, honesty
or morality.
2. If he commits an act against the
public morals in the place of work.
3. If he commits any assaults upon a
fellow worker, the employer or his
representative during work or be-

posed on him under the terms of the
relevant contract and the provisions
of this law.
5. If he repeatedly disobeys the in-
structions of the employer.
In all these cases, the termination de-
cision shall not result in depriving
the labourer of his terminal service
indemnity.
c) The terminated worker for any
of the above cases in this Article
shall have the right to appeal the ter-
mination decision before the compe-
tent Labour Circuit according to the
procedures stipulated in this law. If it

minated the labourer in an arbitrary
way, the latter shall be entitled to a
terminal service indemnity and com-
pensation for the material and moral
damages incurred by him.
In all cases, the employer shall in-
form the Ministry by the termination
decision and its causes. The Ministry

structuring Program accordingly.
