In September 2010, Article 59 of the Lebanese Labour Law was amended to grant Palestinian refugee workers 1, both men and women, the same rights as Lebanese workers – most notably, the right for compensation upon being dismissed from work. Additionally, on the same occasion, Palestinian refugee workers 2 were granted an end-of-service compensation by amending Article 9 of the Social Security Law (SSL).
