From this section you find information on dismissal and revoking an employment contract.
You will also find the basic information on what to do when an employment contract is finishing. In case of unemployment you are allowed to have either basic labour market support benefit or earnings-related daily allowance.
Dismissal is only possible if the employee holds a permanent employment contract. An employee on a short term contract cannot be dismissed, unless a dismissal clause has been specifically agreed upon and included in the employment contract. A short term contract expires without any dismissal procedure when the tenure of the contract comes to an end, or when an agreed project finishes.
The most common reasons for dismissal are the deterioration in the employer’s financial situation and/or the re-organisation of production which means that the employer no longer has enough work to offer. However, prior to any dismissal due to a decrease in workload, the employer is obliged to try to organise some other work or training for the employee.
