Termination

Termination Process
  • Reasons for termination are required.

  • Exclusions to this norm include: Fix term contract; workers who worked less than 6 months; an employer of fewer than 30 workers; employer's agents and his associates approved to manage the company.
  • In such exceptions, no compelling reason is required. However, the employer in these cases is discouraged from abusive or discriminating dismissal.
Notice Period
  • Notice is dictated by status:
  • 0 – 6 months 2 weeks
  • 6 – 18 months 4 weeks
