Termination of a labour contract at the worker's and the employer's initiative is governed by Art. 627 of the Civil Code, under which they are free to terminate the contract.

In order to meet the demand of Art. 27 of the Constitution to promote job security as a public matter, the employer's dismissal is limited predominantly by the LSL, court rulings and collective agreements.

This restriction applies to unlimited labour contracts as well as to those contracts of a definite period which have continued for longer than the period prescribed by law.

The number of days can be reduced, if the employer pays the average wage for each day by which the period is shortened.

It is recommended by court rulings but not legally required to give notice in writing.

Legal precedent further established the rule, that the dismissal must be based on a reasonable cause.

Without reasonable cause any dismissal is regarded as an abuse of the right to dismiss and thus considered null and void.

Night work against increased wages is legally permitted but cannot be ordered to those workers who are raising a child and request to be excepted.

Annual leave with pay of the average wages is granted in Art. 39 of the LSL. The worker can claim it, only if he/she reported for work on at least 80% of the total working days.

The number of annual leave days is related to the time the worker has already been employed in the enterprise counting only those years, in which the worker reported sufficiently for work.

Increased wages must then be paid within a range of no less than 25% and no more than 50% over the normal wage per working hour (Art. 37 of the LSL).

Provided that the vacations do not prevent business from operating adequately, they can be taken whenever the employee decides to do so. In Japan, there are also 14 national holidays a year, which are not legally binding for the private sector.
