Redundancy or dismissal

It is important that you follow the correct procedures when ending an employee’s contract. These procedures will vary depending on your employee’s specific circumstances. In some cases, you will need to seek permission from us or a district judge (‘kantonrechter’) before ending a contract. In other situations, no permission will be required. Knowing which procedures to follow in each situation will ensure the dismissal or redundancy (‘ontslag’) is legally valid, while also protecting your employee and upholding your organisation’s interests.
