WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATING AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WITHOUT A VALID REASON?

An employee whose employment contract has been terminated must, within one month from the date of notification of termination, apply for mediation in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Courts Law with a request for reinstatement, on the grounds that no reason was stated in the termination notice or that the stated reason was not a valid one. If no agreement is reached at the end of the mediation process, a lawsuit may be filed in the labor court within two weeks from the date the final report is drawn up. If the parties agree, the dispute may be referred to a private arbitrator instead of a labor court within the same period.
