Arabic-language reference guide to arbitrary dismissal and end-of-service in Libya under the Labour Relations Law No. 12 of 2010. General legal information, not legal advice — verify with Libyan counsel. Libya's divided governance means enforcement and the applicable authority vary by region.
Under Libya's Labour Relations Law No. 12 of 2010, termination without justification entitles the affected party to compensation set by the court (Article 76 — no fixed multiple). Non-national workers not covered by social security receive an end-of-service reward of half a month's pay per year for the first five years and one month per year after (Article 78); nationals are covered by the Social Security Fund. Notice is 30 days for indefinite contracts (Article 71). Disputes go to a Conciliation Board then an Arbitration Committee.
