FAQ
View all FAQ →Employment contracts in South Sudan should be in writing and clearly specify terms of employment, including job title, salary, working hours, and duration. The contract must comply with the Labour Act 2017 and outline the rights and responsibilities of both employer and employee. It is advisable to have contracts reviewed by a legal professional to ensure compliance with local labour laws.
Dismissal in South Sudan must be for just cause, such as misconduct, poor performance, or redundancy. Employers must follow proper procedures including written warnings and an opportunity for the employee to respond before termination. Summary dismissal without cause may expose the employer to legal claims for unfair dismissal and compensation.
Employees in South Sudan are entitled to a minimum of 15 working days of annual leave per year under the Labour Act 2017. Additional leave may be granted for public holidays, sick leave, and maternity leave. The specific entitlements should be detailed in the employment contract and may vary by industry or agreement.
