Employment termination in El Salvador
Termination process
Employers can generally terminate workers at will by providing advanced notice and making any required severance payments. This provision only applies to regular employees as workers on probation can be dismissed sat will.
Notice period
In El Salvador, notice periods depend on the employee’s length of service and the reason for termination. There is no formal notice period within the first 2 years. A specific notice period can be separately determined by either collective agreement (i.e. independently agreed upon by employers and their employees).
Severance pay
Severance payments under Salvadoran law are based on the employee's years of service and the reason for termination.
Probation periods
Probation periods are limited to 30 days.
