What is the notice period for seasonal work in an ice cream parlor?

Questioner

My 16 year old daughter works in an ice cream parlor, her contract states: this employment contract can be terminated prematurely by either party at the end of the calendar month, taking into account the applicable statutory rules and statutory notice period. It is a temporary employment contract for zero-hour temporary workers.

Lawyer

If the employment contract has lasted less than 5 years, and that seems to be the case here, the notice period is 1 month. Between 5 and 10 years the notice period is 2 months, between 10 and 15 years the notice period is 3 months and more than 15 years the notice period is 4 months. These are the legal terms. The notice period only starts on the first day of the new month after the month in which the notice took place. So if, with 1 month's notice period, there is notice on 31 May, then June is the month of notice period and the employment contract ends on 1 July. If you have any questions, look at boksjuristen.nl.
