Recent developments in Morocco
We understand the challenges of keeping up with regulatory changes. That’s why we actively monitor these changes, so you don’t have to. Read on to discover what’s been happening in the employment landscape in Morocco.
Reduced Role of Labour Inspectors in Dismissals (2025):
The involvement of labour inspectors in dismissal procedures has been significantly reduced. Employers are now only required to notify inspectors, rather than seek their active participation. This shift simplifies the dismissal process for temporary workers.
Clarified Severance Pay Calculations (2025):
Authorities have introduced clearer guidelines for calculating severance pay. This aims to minimise disputes between employers and workers, offering greater predictability in termination scenarios, including those involving agency workers.
Implementation of Finance Law n° 50-22 (2025):
Morocco’s Finance Law n° 50-22 for the Fiscal Year 2023 remains relevant in 2025, with several of its provisions continuing to impact labour costs, tax treatment of employment contracts, and agency fee structures.
Focus on Regulating Intermediaries (2025):
Regulators are increasing scrutiny over temporary employment agencies to ensure compliance with licensing rules and fair labour practices. This includes stricter enforcement of limits on contract duration and the scope of temporary assignments.
Moves Towards Labour Code Reform (2025):
Ongoing discussions around the reform of the Moroccan Labour Code suggest that future updates may affect the use of temporary agency labour, including potential limitations on successive renewals and improved protections for temporary workers.
