Termination of employment in Argentina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A termination of employment in Argentina is the rescission of an employee's employment contract, decided unilaterally by the employer, with or without a cause. As the requirements to proceed with a termination of employment and the consequences of the decision are regulated by each piece of legislation, there are differences depending on the country whose legislation is to be applied.[1] This article refers exclusively to termination of employees who, having worked in Argentina, are governed by the laws of that country.[2]
In Argentine law, labor dismissal is regulated by the Labor Contract Law (hereinafter, LCL) approved by Law 20744 in 1974, with some subsequent amendments and complementary provisions. In 1976, Decree 390/76 was issued, which approved an ordered text reflecting these reforms, which is why it is sometimes referred to as Law 20744 (o.t. decree 390/76).[3]
