Employers must have due reason to terminate an employee, as well as provide written notice.

The notice period depends on the length of the employment contract, as follows:

• No limit (or over two years): three months’ notice
• One to two years: two months’ notice
• Six to 12 months: one month’s notice
• Three to six months: two weeks’ notice
• Fewer than three months (or seasonal work): one day’s notice

There is no requirement for employers to provide severance pay, unless stipulated in the employment agreement. Terminated employees must receive any accrued but unused annual leave pay.

The maximum allowed length for a probation period is three months (or one day for seasonal or casual workers). Probation periods can not be extended.
