Each ground has specific procedural requirements that must be strictly followed. The 2023 reforms tightened procedural requirements for employer-initiated terminations \u2014 Bond Stone advises on full procedural compliance before any notice is issued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Notice periods & severance<\/p>\n Redundancy termination requires a minimum 2-month notice period under the Uzbek Labour Code. Severance pay is payable on redundancy \u2014 typically equivalent to average monthly earnings for the notice period. Certain employee categories have enhanced protections \u2014 pregnant women, employees on parental leave, and employee representatives cannot be made redundant without special procedure. Bond Stone advises on calculating correct notice periods and severance for each affected employee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Protected employee categories<\/p>\n Uzbek labour law provides enhanced termination protections for pregnant women, employees on maternity or childcare leave, employees with children under 3 years old (single parents \u2014 under 14), and trade union representatives. Termination of these employees requires special authorisation. Bond Stone advises on identifying protected employees before any redundancy process is initiated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Labour dispute commissions<\/p>\n Individual labour disputes in Uzbekistan are resolved by labour dispute commissions at the workplace \u2014 a mandatory pre-litigation step for most employment disputes. Bond Stone advises on labour dispute commission procedures and represents employers in commission hearings and subsequent court proceedings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Bond Stone has advised international employers on employment mandates in Uzbekistan.
