When to choose the Arabic version
- The employee reads Arabic more easily and must understand every clause before signing.
- Your company writes its staff documents in Arabic and you want a consistent contract.
- You want to give the employee a contract in the language of the company's collective agreement or internal rules, if they are in Arabic.
Detailed advice (clauses to get right, mistakes, steps after signing) is on the French template page. Both versions have the same content and numbering: article 5 on the trial period is article 5 in both languages.
