Notice Period: The statutory notice period for an employee is 1 month.
Termination: Dismissal by mutual consent is only valid if it is recorded in a written termination agreement (settlement agreement).
The employee has 14 days to reconsider the dismissal by mutual consent. If he fails to do so, the reconsideration period will be automatically extended to 21 days.
Severance Pay: Employees are eligible for the severance payment when they have worked for the employer for at least 24 months and have been terminated by the employer, the employment relationship has been terminated on mutual consent at the employer’s initiative, a fixed-term employment contract has not been renewed by the employer or when the employee has terminated the employment relationship due to misconduct of the employer.
