What is the ruling on not paying the full end-of-service bonus to employees due to company losses and financial inability, knowing that I used to take loans to pay salaries?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The worker's wage and end-of-service bonus, if stipulated in the contract, are unrelated to the company's profit or loss. They are due upon the worker fulfilling their obligations and are not forfeited by the company's bankruptcy; rather, they remain a debt owed by the company. If the contract does not stipulate an end-of-service bonus, and it is mandated by law, then the law should be consulted to determine its obligation in the event of the company's bankruptcy.
