Termination of employment contract
In order to protect the employee, being the weaker contracting party, the Employment Relationship Act defines the procedure of termination of the employment contract from the part of the employer with the aim to protect the employee against unfair and uncontrolled dismissal.
The most common methods of terminating the employment relationship are regular and extraordinary termination of the employment contract.
Regular termination of the employment contract from the part of the employer
The Employment Relationship Act defines the following reasons for regular termination of the employment contract:
- regular dismissal for business reasons
- termination of the employment contract due to incompetence
- termination of the employment contract due to culpable conduct
A special chapter is dedicated to collective dismissals – termination of several employment contracts at the same time for business reasons, where the Employment Relationship Act stipulates the following:
- criteria on the number of “several employees”
- special obligations of the employers to the Trade Unions and the Employment Service
- reasons for regular termination of the employment contract
- unjustified reasons for dismissal
- notice periods
- severance pay
Extraordinary termination of the employment contract
Extraordinary termination of employment contract is a new institute of labour law. The law explicitly stipulates that both contracting parties are entitled to terminate the employment contract in extraordinary circumstances without notice period.
The contracting parties may terminate the employment contract for extraordinary reasons only in case the violations of contractual obligations prevent the continuation of employment relationship until the end of notice period or the end of term set in the employment contract.
