Once notice of termination has been given, both the employee and the employer may begin to regret the decision. For example, the employee’s planned start date at a new job may not work out, or the employer may offer better working conditions. The employer, in turn, may discover that there is no suitable replacement for the departing employee or that the reason for the termination no longer applies.

Labour law

A termination for redundancy is valid only if the employer has actually decided to implement an organizational change and, as a result of that change, no longer has work for you under your employment contract. If the position has been eliminated only “for appearances’ sake,” if the employer hires a replacement for you, or if you are being dismissed for personal reasons disguised as a reorganization, you can challenge the termination by filing a lawsuit to have it declared invalid. It is important to act quickly, as the lawsuit must be filed within the statutory time limit.

You want to leave your job and you don't want to make a formal mistake. The good news is that giving notice by an employee is basically a simple legal act: it must be in writing, delivered to the employer and you don't have to give a reason. In addition, from June 2025, the notice period starts from the date of service, not from the beginning of the following month. It normally lasts at least two months, unless you and your employer agree otherwise. However, be careful about correct service, obligations during the notice period and any competing clause.

Labour law

Termination of service does not work in the same way as termination in a regular employment relationship. It depends mainly on whether you are a civil servant under the Civil Service Act or a member of the security forces under the Law on the Service of Members of the Security Forces. If you leave on your own, you usually have to make a written request and allow for the statutory time limit. If the service relationship is terminated by a service authority or a service official, they must have a legal reason and issue a decision. If the action is unlawful, you can defend yourself by appeal, administrative action or other legal action depending on the situation. Let's see what you need to know before you say goodbye.
