Employee's age as a new ground for notice of termination

In the yearbook Investment Advisory Guide 2021/2022, the Slovak Spectator has published an expert article by lawyers of our law firm, Mgr. Andrej Guba, LL.M. and Mgr. Michael Válek, entitled "Employee's age as a new ground for notice of termination".

Effective from January 1, 2022, the grounds for termination of employment relationship by notice given by the employer will extend by a ground based on the age of the employee. The article clarifies the substantive aspects of this new ground for termination and further examines

• whether such a form of ageism represents a novelty in the Slovak legal system,
• how this ground can be viewed in the light of European law,
• a possible reversal in the effectiveness of the ground for termination by the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic in the event of a declaration of its non-compliance with the Constitution of the Slovak Republic (age discrimination in access to employment).
