Employee contracts can be terminated if a just cause is established, such as dishonesty, negligence, fraud, or any other work-related offences, and the grounds for termination must be tendered in advance to the employee or the latter’s trade union.

Advance notice is only required if an employer is terminating an employee for inability to carry out tasks related to the employment contract, and in such a case, can be given anywhere from eight to 30 days in advance.

Severance payments are only mandatory if an employee is laid off due to redundancy and are calculated by multiplying a third of the employee’s annual pay by the number of years of employment with the employer.

The Probation Period is maximum of three months. It is common to apply the maximum probation period to senior roles.
