Unfair dismissal compensation in Bahrain

Open-ended contract: 2 days' wage for each month of service, at least 1 month's and at most 12 months' wage, if the contract is ended after the first 3 months.
Fixed-term contract: the wage for the rest of the term.

Example: 7 years (84 months) on BHD 1,000. A day's wage is 33.33, so 84 × 2 × 33.33 = BHD 5,600.

If the employer skips the notice period (at least 30 days), you're also owed its pay.

Estimate only. A valid reason for dismissal or a compensation clause in your contract changes the result. Check with the labour ministry or a lawyer.
