If either party in a Fixed-Term Employment Agreement terminates the employment relations prior to the expiration of such agreement, or if their employment agreement has to be ended for reasons other than what is given above, the party that terminates the relation is obliged to pay compensation to the other party in the amount of the worker's wages until the expiration of the agreement.
Employment Agreement does not end because the employer dies or because the ownership of the company has been transferred because the company has been sold, bequeathed to an heir, or awarded as a grant. In the event of a transfer of ownership of an enterprise, the new employer shall bear the responsibility of fulfilling the entitlements of the worker unless otherwise stated in the transfer agreement, which must not reduce the entitlements of the worker.
