Bahrain sets one flat 30-day notice period for either party under Labour Law Article 99(a) — no sliding scale by years of service.
Figures in BHD.
| Service | Entitlement |
|---|---|
| Either party, any length of service | 30 days notice (flat — no sliding scale) |
| Wage basis for payment in lieu | Basic wage + social/cost-of-living allowance (Article 47) |
| Longer contractual notice | Binds the employer only, not the employee |

Yes, but a longer period only binds the employer — you can still resign with just 30 days notice.
