Course topics

• Hiring and the employment contract: essential terms, obligations and the probation period.
• Managing employment day to day: wages, working hours, rest, overtime and leave.
• Violations and discipline: investigation, hearing the employee, documentation, and the steps before a penalty.
• Ending employment: resignation, notice, termination, and what each one leads to.
• End-of-service dues: what is owed when employment ends, including the rules for non-Bahraini workers.
• Labour disputes: how they start, and the mistakes that make them harder for either side.
• Practical cases: open discussion of real-life scenarios.

Real questions we work through

• An employee is on probation and we want to end the contract. What should we check first?
• An employee is absent again and again. How do we handle it?
• Do these extra hours count as overtime?
