Workers can be terminated with notice for incapacity, insolvency, a mutual agreement, or the death of the employee. Employees can equally be dismissed without notice for serious misconduct such as fraud, dishonesty, disclosing trade secrets, assault, or inebriation.

Unless they’re terminated for severe misconduct, workers are entitled to varying notice periods depending on the terms of their employment:

1. One month for workers who’re paid monthly

2. Two weeks for workers who’re paid half-monthly — provided they've been employed for less than five consecutive years

3. One week for workers who’re paid half-monthly who have been employed for up to two years but less than five years

4. Anywhere from one day to two weeks for daily-paid workers, depending on their tenure

5. One month for workers who’re paid daily, weekly, or half-monthly that have been employed for more than five consecutive years

Under Sudanese law, workers who have been employed for three years, but less than years are entitled to a month’ wages for each year of service.

If the employee has been employed for more than 10 years, the severance pay increases to 1.5 month’s pay per year, or 1.75 month’s pay if the worker has served for up to 15 years.

Severance payments are capped at 36 months basic pay.

Sudanese law limits probations to three months in addition to any training period required.
