Background

An employee filed a case against a company and requested the elementary authority for the settlement of labour disputes to order the company to pay him a nature-of-work allowance.

The elementary authority rejected the case.

The employee appealed the ruling before the High Authority for the Settlement of Labour Disputes.

Decision

The high authority stated the payment of this allowance fell under the conditions stipulated by the Ministerial Decision No. 3 which stipulated that the employee who has a permanent job is qualified to receive the nature-of-work allowance. The high authority stated that this employee did not have a permanent position.

The high authority upheld the elementary ruling.
