Under Labour Law, Egypt Law No. 14/2025, interim relief has been expressly recognised in employment disputes, particularly in cases of dismissal. The law empowers the judge of urgent matters at the competent Labour Court to issue temporary orders until the dispute is resolved.

For example, in dismissal disputes, the judge may order that the employee remain suspended with entitlement to partial wage payments during the proceedings. This balances the employer’s right to remove the employee from the workplace with the employee’s right to financial protection pending a final judgement.

Interim relief may also cover urgent measures to safeguard wages, benefits, or other entitlements if delay would cause irreparable harm. However, reinstatement through interim measures is not available, the final decision on reinstatement or compensation rests with the Labour Court.
