Frequently asked questions
Can an employee who resigns receive severance pay?
As a rule, no. However, if the employee terminates for just cause (for example unpaid wages or unpaid overtime) or in certain cases listed in the law, severance pay may be due.
What happens if mediation fails?
The mediator issues a final report stating that no agreement was reached, and a claim can then be filed with the labour court.
