Starting with the labour code, the internal regulations and the charters or directives established within the company.In return for his service, the employee receives a remuneration equivalent to his attributions, his salary. The payment is attached to the receipt of a pay slip provided by the employer at the end of each month.

Once an employee’s employment contract within the company is terminated, the debauching procedure is initiated. It is the removal of the employee’s name from the company, or in other words, the exclusion of the employee from the company.

Similarly to hiring, one must declare his departure with the social organizations to which he was affiliated to exclude him. (CNAPS, OSTIE, ESIA, AMIT, etc.). The procedure is the same but vice versa.

One of the employer’s obligations is also to prepare the balance of any account or STC. The party who takes the initiative to terminate the contract must respect the notice periods, or failing that, pay an indemnity of notice to the other party for compensation of the said period.
