What are the conditions for termination of employment under the simplified regulatory regime?

Grounds for termination:

• An employment agreement may be terminated on the general grounds provided for by labor law.
• Additionally, by agreement of the parties, the employment agreement may specify other grounds for termination or dissolution of the agreement.

Termination at the initiative of the employer:

1) If the employer wishes to terminate the employment agreement on grounds not provided for by law, it must justify the reasons for such termination and provide the employee with a compensation payment.

2) The amount of compensation depends on the length of the employment with the employer:

• Up to 30 days: at least half of the minimum wage.
• More than 30 days: at least one minimum wage.
• More than one year: at least three minimum wages.
• Over two years: at least five minimum wages.

Termination procedure:

1) An employment contract may be terminated at the initiative of the employer:

• By signing an additional agreement on termination of the employment contract.
• Unilaterally by sending an official notice of termination to the employee in the manner prescribed by the employment agreement or by registered mail with a list of enclosures.

Lack of agreement with the trade union:

• In the simplified regime, the rules on mandatory approval of dismissal by a trade union body do not apply, except for the dismissal of employees elected to trade union bodies.
