Can I end my employee at any time?
Many, but not all countries outside of the U.S. have specific regulations regarding the amount of notice that must be given to an employee before terminating their assignment. These requirements vary greatly by country. Some countries require a contract length be established at the time of hire while others require that you give an employee a certain amount of advance notice prior to ending their work. This typically does not apply in instances when you want to transfer an employee from our payroll to yours. Please contact us directly for additional details.
