Frequently asked questions
What is unfair dismissal and what compensation does the law provide?
A dismissal is unfair when it is based on an invalid reason or does not follow the required procedure, in particular the prior hearing of the employee (Articles 62 to 64 of the Labour Code). Article 41 then provides for damages calculated at one and a half months' salary per year or part year of service, capped at 36 months' salary. A conciliation attempt before the labour inspector may precede legal action.
How long is the notice period?
Notice is provided for by Article 43 of the Labour Code, and its length depends on the employee's category and length of service, under the regulations, the contract or the collective agreement. It ranges from a few days for recently hired workers to several months for managerial staff. No notice is due in cases of serious misconduct, and the party who fails to observe it owes compensation equal to the pay for the period not worked (Article 51).
