Articles 75 and 76
Notice period
Sets the minimum notice in an open-ended contract: 30 days from the worker and 60 days from the employer when the wage is paid monthly, and 30 days from either party when it is not (Article 75).
If the party ending the contract does not observe the notice, it owes the other party an amount equal to the worker's wage for that period, unless both agreed on more (Article 76).
