Questions
What is the notice period in Slovakia when I resign?
At least one month; at least two months if your employment has lasted at least a year on the day of delivery (section 62(2) and (6)). It runs from the first day of the next month to the last day of a month.
When does my job end if I resign on 23 October?
If you have worked there for over a year, the notice runs from 1 November to 31 December 2026; otherwise until 30 November 2026.
Can I write the resignation letter in English?
The law requires writing and delivery (section 61(1)). Many employers accept English; the letter names the Slovak terms (potvrdenie o zamestnaní) so HR knows what you ask for.
Can I leave earlier?
By agreement with the employer (section 60): employment ends on the agreed day. The document contains a ready agreement text.
What must the employer give me when I leave?
A confirmation of employment (section 75(2)), a work reference within 15 days of request (section 75(1)) and final pay including untaken leave (section 116).
