Male employees can usually take leave from the birth date until the mother returns to work, and the parents may be able to take parental leave until the child is three years old.
Employees in Slovakia are entitled to two months of notice upon termination. They may also be entitled to severance pay, for example, if they are made redundant, or if the company is dissolved.
The payment should be between four and ten times the average monthly earnings, depending on how long the employee has been with the company and the context of the termination.
