Termination of the Employment Contract
10 August 2015
Both the employer and the employee may terminate the employment contract provided they comply with the rules stated in articles L.124-1 to L.125-13 of the Labour code.
These rules differ depending on the case : termination with notice of an open-term contract by the employer (I), resignation by the employee (II), termination with immediate effect for gross misconduct (III), termination by mutual agreement (IV) and termination of a fixed-term employment contract (V).
Collective bargaining agreements may include provisions that differ from the Labour Code; if needed, the provisions of the applicable collective bargaining agreement should consequently be checked previously.
