(1) For terminating the employment of a permanent worker, for any reason other than misconduct three months’ notice shall be given either by the employer or the worker. Three months’ wages calculated on the basis of the last month’s wages earned by the worker preceding the date of service of the notice will be paid in lieu of notice: Provided that worker’s all dues and arrears standing in his name shall be paid along with his wages in lieu of notice at the time of severing of his employment.
(2) No temporary worker, whether monthly-rated, weekly-rated, daily-rated or piece-rated, and no probationer or BADLI, shall be entitled to any notice if his services are terminated by the employer, nor shall any such worker be required to give any notice or pay wages in lieu thereof to the employer if he leaves employments of his own accord.
(3) The services of a worker shall not be terminated, nor shall a worker be removed, retrenched, discharged or dismissed from service, except by an order in writing which shall explicitly state the reason for the action taken. In case a worker is aggrieved by the termination of his services or removal, retrenchment, discharge or dismissal, he may take action in accordance with the provisions of the Balochistan Industrial Relations Act 2010, (Act No. XIII of 2010), and thereupon the provisions of said section shall apply as they apply to the redress of an individual grievance: Provided that in the case of down-sizing of the establishment the employer shall not be required to assign any reason for terminating the services of a worker, but shall pay to the worker a redundancy pay or wages for a period ranging from one year to five years at the rate of the last pay or wages drawn by him depending upon the length of service: Provided further that a worker or worker who has served for a period of three years shall be entitled to redundancy pay equal to one year’s wages so as to calculate redundancy pay for higher service at the rate of one year wages for every three-year service, but no workers shall be entitled to redundancy pay beyond five years’ service: Provided also that if a worker or worker has to his credit less than three years’ service he shall be paid redundancy pay or wages as individually settled between worker and the employer.
(4) Where the services of any worker are terminated, the wages earned by him and other dues, including payment for un-availed leave as defined in clause (1) of Standing Order 9, shall be paid before the expiry of the second working day from the day on which his services are terminated.
(5) The services of permanent or temporary worker shall not be terminated on the ground of misconduct otherwise than in the manner prescribed in Standing Order 15.

Every permanent worker shall be entitled to a service certificate at the time of his dismissal, discharge, retrenchment or retirement from service.
