Hiring, Changes and Termination of Employment

Before concluding the employment contract, the employer familiarizes the employee with applicable rules and internal regulations against signature. On hiring, documents prescribed by employment law for the relevant case are presented: identity document, employment history information or employment record book, individual insurance record registration document, and military registration and education documents where required. Additional certificates are requested only where the law requires them. Absence of a document the employee is not required to present is not a ground for refusal. The employment contract is executed in writing; a counterpart is given to the employee with acknowledgment of receipt. The employer may issue a hiring order whose content must match the contract. Probation is agreed in the contract and applies only to eligible categories; absence of such a term means hiring without probation. Changes to the job function and agreed terms are formalized under the statutory procedure. Assignment of additional work requires proper consent and determination of pay. An oral instruction does not replace a transfer. On termination, the ground and required documents are formalized, final settlement is made and the information due is issued. Outstanding property handover does not permit withholding settlement or documents.

Principal Duties of the Parties

The employee diligently performs the agreed job function, observes discipline and occupational safety and health requirements, takes care of property, and promptly reports threats to life, health or property. The employer provides the agreed work, safe conditions, necessary resources and reliable information, pays wages on time, records working time and ensures mandatory guarantees. Managers' requirements must remain within the law and employment contract. Respect for dignity, prohibition of discrimination and protection of personal data are binding on all parties to employment relations.
