In compliance with Croatia's labor laws, employment termination transpires under various circumstances, including the employee's demise, the conclusion of a fixed-term employment contract, attainment of the age of 65 with 20 years of pension-insured service, a valid decision on retirement due to work disability, mutual agreement between the employee and employer, issuance of notice, or a decision from a competent court. Regardless of the reason, both parties are obligated to document the termination in writing.

The Notice Period in Croatia varies depending on whether an employee is under probation or not. Generally, a notice period of 2 weeks is observed but probationary employees are given only up to 7 days.

Severance pay

Employees in Croatia are entitled to severance pay as long as their reason for termination is not due to misconduct. They will be paid for each year of service, and the amount shall be agreed upon by the employer, provided that it should not be less than the computation: ⅓  x average monthly salary of 3 months before termination = Severance pay
