Work Permit Law Updated: Pay Attention to Termination Notifications

Employers who employ a foreign national worker with a work permit are now obliged to notify the Ministry and other relevant authorities within 15 (fifteen) days after the termination of the employment relationship, regardless of the reason for termination. The notification must be made no later than 15 days from the date the foreign employee leaves the job. Employers who fail to fulfill this responsibility within the 15-day period will be considered to have committed an offense.

However, if during the period between the termination date and the notification date, it is proven that the employee was abroad (supported by entry-exit records), or if work permit procedures have been started or a new permit has been obtained for the employee to work with another employer, the notification will be accepted regardless of the 15-day rule and no penalty will be applied in such cases.
