Notice periods in Morocco 2026

The notice an employer must give often grows with the years you have worked for them. The calculator above works out your notice period from your hire date and last day, together with severance and final pay.

The rules in brief

• Notice and indemnity: After 6 months of service an employee dismissed for reasons other than serious misconduct is owed an indemnity of 96 hours of pay per year for the first 5 years, 144 hours for years 6–10, 192 hours for years 11–15 and 240 hours beyond. Notice for employees and workers is 8 days under 1 year, 1 month up to 5 years and 2 months after (managers 1 to 3 months). An abusive dismissal adds damages of 1.5 months’ pay per year, up to 36 months (not modelled).

Notice from your employer, by years of service (Decree 2-04-469 (employees and workers; managers 1 to 3 months))
