Paternity leave

Paternity leave is five days unpaid (although it can be paid in exceptional circumstances).

Termination

Termination Process

The termination process varies according to the type of contract, the reason for termination, the employment agreement, and any collective agreements in place. At least eight days before the termination commences, employers must explain in writing the reasons for dismissal and invite the employer to respond.

Notice Period

Employees seeking to terminate their contract must give 15 days' notice. Employers seeking to end a contract must give eight days' notice, except in the case of layoffs, which require 30 days' notice.

Severance Pay

Employees are only entitled to severance pay if they have been laid off. The amount paid is 1/3rd of their salary for each year employed.
