The first day of sick leave is unpaid. The second to 14th days are paid by the employer. Subsequent days are paid by social security. Sick leave is normally paid at 75–80% of salary, depending on the duration of the illness.
Paid maternity leave is 14 weeks, seven before the birth and seven after.
Paid paternity leave is 10 days.
Termination processes vary according to the type of contract, the reason for termination, the employment agreement, and any collective agreements in place. The Employee Insurance Agency must be involved if the termination is due to long-term disability or economic reasons. Furthermore, any company with over five employees must inform the government's Employment Service in the event of any termination. Trade unions may then need to become involved in negotiations before the company provides a written termination notice.
Notice periods are typically set out in collective bargaining agreements and are normally one month. Employees not covered by such agreements are entitled to notice depending on their length of service:
Employment contracts/collective agreements stipulate any severance pay required.
Employment contracts/collective agreements stipulate the length of any probation period.
