Off-boarding is always carried out by the employer with the main participants. It may include ad hoc fees as well as required or recommended steps for specific termination cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terminations in Uruguay can be complex. In Uruguay, employers cannot terminate at their own discretion outside of the probationary period and the termination must be for just cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper terminations are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Voluntary by the employee  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By mutual agreement  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unilaterally by the employer due to:      \n<ul>\n<li>Probation period      <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Objective reasons      <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dismissal for disciplinary reasons      <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance due to unsuitability for the position  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the contract expires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notice Period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The notice period is not mandatory and depends on what the two parties have agreed in the employment contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Severance for Employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Uruguay, all employees who are not dismissed for disciplinary violations during the probationary period or because of the termination of a fixed-term contract are entitled to severance pay. The severance payment amounts to one month&#8217;s salary per year of service up to 6 months&#8217; basic salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to protect you from unforeseen financial risks arising from the termination of an employment relationship, IceHrm applies a severance pay provision in all employment contracts in this country. IceHrm has extensive expertise in managing litigation risk around the world and our severance provision calculation is based on prevailing common law or statutory requirements and best local practices. If your employee resigns or is not entitled to severance pay, you will receive a refund of any unused amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Statutory Time Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Time Off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both full-time and part-time employees are entitled to 20 days of paid time off (PTO) per year. PTO is credited monthly at 1.67 days per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public Holidays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Public holidays in Uruguay are complex.
