Labor & Taxes
The company wants you to leave. Do you have to accept the agreement?
An employee has the right to refuse a mutual termination agreement proposed by their employer. If the employee chooses not to sign, the company must follow legal procedures for dismissal, such as redundancy or disciplinary action, which require specific justifications and adherence to labour laws.
Why it matters
If your employer asks you to sign a contract termination agreement, remember that you are not legally obligated to accept it; refusing it forces the employer to demonstrate legal grounds for any termination, protecting your rights to potential severance or unemployment benefits.ExpressoRead original ↗
