In reality, you can walk out of any job in EU as well. Unless you have some specific clauses in your contract, the worst they can do is simply not pay you anything. There may come a lawsuit after, but I doubt it. You can also get a doctors note and go on sick leave if you feel some serious stress on the job.
- ACS_Solver 6y agoIt's true that they probably won't sue you for breach of contract, though they can, but if you just walk out of a job, you're at the risk of ruining your professional reputation, arguably the most precious resource. There aren't many other things that would be as much of a red flag when hiring as an employee that just decided to walk out of a job. Of course if you have good reasons to stop working, there are good options. If it's stress or similar mental health issues, you can resign and spend your notice period on sick leave. If your employer assaults you or just stops paying, or otherwise grossly neglects their duties as an employer, you're legally entitled to quit immediately.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoTypically a company owes you money when you leave, like the started part of the month, pending holidays, and the annual bonus/extra pay that you already earned. If you don't respect your notice period they'll remove your salary over the missed time from that final payment. So in that case they'd remove 3-month salary. Sometimes it goes into the negative, and some companies actually send a bill, but there's basically no consequence for ignoring it. Usually companies don't push the matter.
