Employment termination
Termination process
Employers can dismiss employees by providing notice, although it’s not required if an employee is being dismissed for misconduct.
Notice period
Limited to one month by default except a longer period is specified by agreement.
Severance pay
Severance pay is limited to one day’s pay for each month of employment, up to three months’ pay. A dismissed employee must be given payment in lieu of any unused leave entitlement, in addition to their base severance pay.
Workers who’re dismissed for misconduct are not entitled to any severance or payments in lieu of unused leave.
Probation periods
The probation period in Tunisia is limited to six months for general (blue collar) staff, nine months for supervisors, and one year for executives.
