BaghdadiLaw’s experience in labor & employment law in Syria

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to employment matters, with a firm grasp of how contracts, pay, termination, compensation and evidence of rights connect across the employment relationship. Employment consultation for Syria begins with the worker’s legal status, the employer and the event in dispute. This hub connects wages, dismissal, leave, injury and judgment follow-up while keeping private employment, public service and insurance questions distinct.

Law 17/2010 is an important starting point for the private-employment relationships within its scope. The cited version is historical; current amendments, special categories and social-security provisions must be checked before detailed advice. Separate the employment chronology from the financial account. This makes it possible to see whether a dispute concerns the right itself, the calculation or proof that it was paid.

We agree the work your matter needs: Use a wage review for arrears, dismissal analysis for termination, the relevant compensation page for loss and judgment support once an award exists. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An employment issue assessment, document priorities and separate calculations where money is claimed.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on labor & employment law in Syria

What should be clarified before choosing an employment claim?

Identify the sector, contract, service period and desired result: payment, correction of a decision, a dismissal remedy or implementation of a judgment. The same job title can appear under different legal arrangements.

Can an oral employment relationship be reviewed?

Provide available lawful evidence of work, payment and instructions; the absence of a signed contract is an evidence question to assess.

Does a general online calculator determine Syrian rights?

No. Employment status, termination ground and applicable rules need to be established before calculating.
