felmondását

felmondás: a terminology used in Hungarian labor law to denote the termination of an employment relationship by either party, the employer or the employee. The noun comes from the verb felmondani, meaning to dismiss or to resign, and is commonly applied in both the context of voluntary resignation and involuntary dismissal. Within the Hungarian Civil Code and the Hungarian Labor Code, felmondás is regulated by a series of provisions that protect the rights of both parties. The employer must provide the employee with a written notice of dismissal, stating the date of termination and the reason, usually citing a specific statutory or contractual basis. In contrast, an employee who chooses to resign must give written notice to the employer, indicating the intended date of departure. Both parties are required to observe the statutory notice period; the default period is usually between one and three months, depending on the employee’s length of service and the sector. Certain special cases, such as termination due to a collective agreement, industrial action, or regulatory changes, may modify these notice periods. Unlawful or unjustifiable felmondás can be challenged, and the employee may appeal in court or through arbitration. The legal framework therefore aims to balance the employer’s need for flexibility with the employee’s job security, ensuring that the process of terminating an employment contract remains fair and transparent.
