Frequently Asked Questions

As a rule, severance pay requires at least one year of service with the same employer and termination of the employment contract on one of the grounds set out in the legislation. Resignation does not normally give rise to entitlement, although termination for just cause, military service, retirement and termination by a female employee on grounds of marriage are exceptions.
To benefit from job security provisions, the workplace must employ more than the statutory minimum number of employees, the employee must have at least six months' service and an indefinite-term contract, and the termination must not rest on a valid reason. Recourse to mediation before filing suit is a procedural precondition.
Notice periods increase incrementally with the employee's length of service. A party failing to observe the notice requirement pays compensation equal to the wages for that period. The calculation is based on the gross wage including regular benefits such as transport, meal allowances and bonuses.
Material changes require the employee's written consent. The employer must notify the change in writing and the employee must accept it in writing within the statutory period. Unilateral implementation of a material change that has not been accepted may entitle the employee to terminate for just cause.
Law No. 6331 applies in principle to all workplaces regardless of hazard class or headcount, although the scope of obligations and their commencement dates vary accordingly. Core obligations include risk assessment, appointment of an occupational safety specialist and workplace physician, employee training and an emergency response plan.
