Employment law and dismissal

Unfair dismissal, unpaid wages, workplace accidents and social security: protect your rights.

Unfair dismissal

The Labour Code requires a genuine and serious reason and a proper procedure. Otherwise the employee may claim damages for unfair dismissal on top of notice and severance pay.

Labour tribunal

Individual disputes go to the labour tribunal, which first attempts conciliation. Keep your contract, payslips and correspondence.

Frequently asked questions

Can my employer dismiss me without notice?

Only proven serious misconduct justifies dismissal without notice; otherwise notice or pay in lieu is due.

How long do I have to act?

Limitation periods in employment matters are short. See a lawyer as soon as the contract ends.

My employer did not register me for social security

Failing to register you is an offence; you can have your situation regularised and claim damages.
