The relatively free structuring of terminations of employment
contracts in Liechtenstein is restricted by the termporal
protection against termination. This temporary protection against
termination serves to maintain the current job for a certain period
of time, since the employee can hardly obtain a new job due to
certain facts (e.g. due to illness). The loss of his job with its
social consequences would affect him especially hard,
therefore he must be protected for a certain period of
time.
The employee is only entitled to this temporal protection
against termination if the termination by the employer is ordinary.
If the employment relationship ends in any other way, there is no
protection. In addition, the expiring of the probation period is
required.
