Sick days

The first three days of sick leave are paid by the employer. They must pay 100% of the employee's salary for the first two periods of sickness each year, 66% for the third, 50% for the fourth, and nothing for any other periods of sick leave in one year. Beyond the fourth day, employees still receive 100% of their salary, but the payment is split 50-50 between the employer and the government. After the 22nd day of sickness, the government pays 66% and the employer 34%.

Maternity leave
Paternity leave

Paternity leave, paid at 100% of salary, is ten days which must be taken within the first five months after the child's birth.

Termination

Termination Process

Except in cases of mutual agreement, serious misconduct, or economic reasons, the termination of any contract must be justified and include a notice period.

Notice Period

If an employer wishes to end a contract, they must give 30 days' notice to employees (60 days in the case of managers). If an employee wishes to end their contract, they must give 30 days' notice (45 days in the case of managers).

Severance Pay

In cases in which severance pay is applicable, employers must pay a sum equivalent to the annual salary divided by 13.5 plus 1.5% for every year worked (plus inflation).
