The notice period for collective (and other) dismissals is one month for all employees with less than two years of service.
This is extended to:
If an employee is dismissed while on parental leave, the notice period begins when the employee comes back from parental leave, or when he/she was scheduled come back from parental leave.
This general rule applies to all workers, although improvement is possible by collective agreement. In addition, various rights apply during the notice period, such as the right to time off work for job search and the right to usual pay regardless of whether there are work tasks to perform.
The reform of the Employment protection act did not change the length of notice periods.
