Notice period: Hungary

Work out the last day of the job after a resignation or a notice from the employer. Country: Hungary — counted under its labour law.

This is the statutory minimum. A contract or a collective agreement may set a longer period, and then that one applies.

Who is giving notice

Choose both dates: when the job started and when the document was handed over.

Probation

The longest probation the law allows is 3 months.

During probation the job can be ended at once — no notice period applies.

How it works: Hungary

The period is counted in days and starts the day after hand-over. The basic 30 days are extended by length of service — but only when the employer gives notice. If you resign, it is always 30 days.

Notice can be barred or postponed: sick leave, pregnancy, parental leave, care of a child, military service. The calculator cannot see any of that — if it is your case, take legal advice.

Not covered: termination by agreement, immediate dismissal, fixed-term contracts, severance pay, and a longer period from a contract or a collective agreement.
