Termination Process

With International PEO Services, you can manage the termination of the contract. In this case, an employer can terminate the fixed-term contract for business, personal, or employment misconduct. However, the employer must notify the employee and explain the reasons for the termination in writing.

Besides, if the reason is the misconduct of the worker, the employer must issue a warning and the worker may explain.

Furthermore, when the employment relationship ends by notice, the worker must receive the payment no later than 5 days before the termination date.

Notice Period

The employer of record in Hungary can manage the notice period which is usually 30 days. However, if the employer terminates employment, he must extend this period according to the years of service:

• 3 years of service require an additional 5 days of notice.
• 5 years of service require an additional 15 days of notice.
• 8 years of service require an additional 20 days of notice.
• 10 years of service require an additional 25 days of notice.
• 15 years of service require an additional 30 days of notice.
• 18 years of service require an additional 40 days of notice.
• After 20 years of service, an additional 60 days of notice is required.

Likewise, the employee and the employer can agree on a 6-month extension.

Severance Pay

If an employer terminates the contract for operational reasons, it must compensate the employees for the dismissal. In this case, the minimum amount of compensation is 1 month of salary and the maximum is 6 months of salary. This is determined by the employment contract.

Probation Period

After the employee onboarding, the trial period cannot exceed 3 months. Thus, if this period is less than 3 months, the parties can extend it only once but not for more than the time limit.

Paid Time Offs

In Hungary, all employees are entitled to 20 days of paid vacation each year. However, this leave rises to 30 days for workers over 45 years of age. Additionally, employees with children under the age of 16 may receive additional vacation as follows:

Nevertheless, if the employee has a child with a disability, the extra vacation days increase by 2 more. Additionally, either parent has the right to request this extra vacation time. Also, after the birth of 1 child, the father may receive 5 additional vacation days or 7 days if they are twins. However, you can only take them until the end of the second month from the date of birth.

Sick Days

With global employment outsourcing, you will be able to grant 15 days of sick leave to an employee. Thus, an employee must receive a payment of 70% of the average salary of 6 months before the leave. Similarly, if the illness continues after the leave period, the employee is entitled to up to 1 time off. Likewise, this applies in the case of an accident at work, which can be for an unlimited period.

Moreover, the payment consists of 1/3 by the employer and 2/3 by the National Health Insurance Fund.
