Frequently asked questions about employment law
What is the deadline for challenging an unfair dismissal?
An action for invalidity must be filed within 2 months of the date on which the employment was to end. This is a preclusive deadline — the claim is extinguished upon expiry.
What is the statutory severance pay?
For organisational reasons: 1 month's salary (up to 1 year), 2 months (1–2 years), 3 months (over 2 years). For work injury or occupational disease: 12 months.
What should I do about workplace bullying?
Document specific incidents, file a written complaint with the employer, and if no action is taken, consider filing with the Labour Inspectorate or bringing a personality protection action.
Can my employer impose working from home?
An employer cannot unilaterally impose home working — it requires the employee's consent, with exceptions for extraordinary circumstances.
Is my non-compete clause valid?
A non-compete clause is valid only if it meets statutory conditions: written form, maximum duration of 1 year, and adequate compensation (at least 50% of average salary).
