What is the suspension of the employment agreement?

Suspension of an employment agreement means a temporary cessation of the employer's provision of employment to an employee and, accordingly, the employee's cessation of performing work under the employment agreement. Suspension is possible due to hostilities or other extraordinary circumstances.

The main conditions for suspension include:

• Failure of the employer to provide the employee with a job
• The employee's inability to perform work due to the destruction of equipment or other similar circumstances. For example, if the equipment used by an employee is destroyed and there is no way to replace it, it is legitimate to suspend the employment contract.

Suspension can be initiated by both the employee and the employer and is not considered a dismissal, is temporary and can be appealed by the employee in case of unlawful application.
