In accordance with Labor Law no 4857 article 17, before terminating a continual employment contract made for an indefinite period, a notice to the other party must be served by the terminating party. The notice period can change from two weeks to eight weeks, depending on the employee’s working time. If the employment contract is terminated by respecting the term of notice, the employee shall be entitled to permission to seek new employment during notice period.
The time devoted to this purpose should not be less than two hours daily and if the employee so requests such hours may be added together and taken at one time. But if the employee wishes to take these hours at one time, he must do so on the days immediately preceding the day on which his employment ceases.
