Oh. We have what is normally a 3 month 'probationary' period during which the employee doesn't get benefits etc. If they're still around after the probation is over, then they are full employees.

>Most people who are hired, will first have a "trial period", which can be up to six months. In this period the employer must keep him/her at least two weeks, and he/she must continue working the same time if he/she quits.

>>If you fire someone because they turn out to be incompetent, then I assume you don't want them to be hanging around messing up your operation. It shouldn't take long to find out the person is incompetent. What's the minimum time you have to keep paying them?

>>>The rule is that after getting fired the employee must continue working for a period which is relative to how long he/she has been employed. The employer must of course pay the employee full salary for this period. It's not unusual to let the employee leave earlier if he/she finds a new job, but the employer has the right to keep him/her if he/she wants to. After the mentioned period the employer has no responsibility anymore.

>>>>>If you leave without fulfilling the period after you give your employer your resignation, the employer can, and usually will, sue the employer for damages. These damages can be substantial, usually many times the salary for the period. And he is strictly forbidden to start in a new job, if this happens the police can be called to stop him. But I must say that this very rarely happens in real life, usually the employee makes some agreement with his employer.
