How is a labor contract terminated in Uzbekistan?
A labor contract in Uzbekistan can be terminated on several grounds:
1. By mutual agreement of the parties at any time.
2. At the employee's initiative — the employee must give the employer at least 2 weeks' written notice. After that period the employee may stop working.
3. At the employer's initiative — only on grounds set out in the Labor Code (e.g. staff reduction, the employee's unsuitability for the position, or a gross breach of labor discipline). Notice periods and severance guarantees must be observed.
On the termination date the employer must return the employment record book and settle all payments in full (wages and compensation for unused leave).This information is not legal advice. Please consult a qualified legal professional.
