FAQ
View all FAQ →Employment contracts in Liberia should include the job title, duties, salary, working hours, and duration of employment. While oral contracts are legally recognized, written contracts are strongly recommended to avoid disputes. The contract must comply with Liberian labor law and should clearly outline terms and conditions of employment.
Employers must provide at least two weeks' written notice for dismissal, or pay two weeks' salary in lieu of notice. However, dismissal for gross misconduct may occur without notice. Employees also have the right to appeal unfair dismissal through the Ministry of Labor.
Employees in Liberia are entitled to a minimum of 15 working days of annual leave per year. Additionally, there are at least 12 public holidays recognized nationally. Leave entitlements must be clearly stated in the employment contract and paid at the employee's regular rate of pay.
