If the date of the contract's expiration falls on a non-business day, how is the process regulated?
The expiration date of a fixed-term employment contract may occasionally fall on a non-business day. In this case, the employer does not have the option to terminate the fixed-term employment contract when the term expires. According to the fourth part of Article 8 of the Labor Code, if the last day of the term falls on a non-business day, the nearest following business day is considered the expiration date.
Example: The employer hired a worker on a one-month contract on February 21. The expiration date of the employment contract signed by the employer coincides with the Novruz holiday. In this case, the employer can terminate the worker's employment contract due to the expiration of the term on the first business day after Novruz.
