FAQ
Can an employer terminate an employee unilaterally? Is notice required?
Yes, but only with a legally defined 'just cause' and after the statutory notice period. See Articles 68–72 of the Labour Relations Law.
Under the Labour Relations Law, an employer may terminate an employee only for a defined 'just cause' — e.g. serious breach of duties or inability to perform the role. Notice periods scale with tenure: 5 days during probation, 15 days for 1–3 years, 30 days for 3–5 years, and 45 days beyond 5 years. Failure to give proper notice obliges the employer to pay compensation equal to the missed period's wages.
