We have now reached the second month of the year and that means that changes have been made to the rights and obligations of employees and employers. FHI's Framework Employment Conditions Agreement (RAO) has been adapted to this new legislation.

The most important changes in the RAO 2022 at a glance:

  • 2.3 Supplemented with the sentence 'In addition, the employment contract can be terminated by mutual consent by means of a written termination agreement.'
  • 2.5 Text of statutory notice period for employees who were 45 years old on January 1, 1999 (old scheme) has been removed.
