It works both ways usually. If you want to fire an employee you can not do it from one day to another without good reason.
There is also the possibility of an earlier contract end with the agreement of both parties.
What devs are you trying to hire?
- idiomaticrust 4y ago"If you want to fire an employee you can not do it from one day to another without good reason." This usually only applies for permanent employees, not freelancers.
- pasc1878 4y agoBut irrelevant. Freelancers don't have the three month notice under discussion here.
- bluedino 4y agoSo what's a good enough reason to fire someone but not have it take 3 months?
- pasc1878 4y agoBreaking the terms of the contract. Abusive behaviour.
- pjc50 4y agoBreach of contract or gross misconduct are usually serious enough. But it has to be a reason you'd be happy defending to a court, not just the American "I don't like this guy".

- colinjoy 4y agoMisconduct. E.g. not fulfilling your contractual duties as an employee or actively causing damage to the company. Still, a warning needs to be issued before a termination in all but the most severe cases. (Germany)
- ad404b8a372f2b9 4y agoIn France it's called a "faute grave" or "faute lourde" and according to the government's website the following reasons would be acceptable, although some are more straightforward to justify than others in case of litigation: Faute grave: * Being drunk during work hours * Not coming to work without a reason * Insubordination (refusing to do work included in your contract) * Harassment, violence, insults * Theft on company grounds Faute lourde: * Keeping non-striking employees from entering company grounds * Intentional destruction of company equipment * Physical violence and death threats against your employer * Kidnapping colleagues (lol) * Stealing your employer's clients * Divulging secret or confidential IP Like all legal frameworks there is some room for interpretation, I'm not an expert on the matter, it's only a translation of the government website. I've worked in a few places where occasionally a few bottles of red would be consumed during team lunch so not all companies have the same interpretation of what a fireable offense is.
- p_l 4y agoNegotiated agreement with the employee. Gross misconduct (evaluated in laws, usually things like directly acting against the company on purpose, like poaching contracts etc.) Employee literally breaching the law (one example from Polish law would be turning up drunk or high at work)

- another-dave 4y ago> If you want to fire an employee you can not do it from one day to another without good reason. And if you make a position redundant, you have to pay the employee their notice period. So as a permanent employee, I'll need a smaller emergency fund if I know that I have three months heads-up if I need to find a new job vs one month or one week.
