Deputy: Dismissal of pre-retirement age workers should be prohibited

Protection of labor rights of citizens of pre-retirement age is also very important. Some of our fellow citizens are dismissed shortly before reaching retirement age and then face difficulties in finding employment.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Oxu.Az, this was stated by deputy Vugar Bayramov at today's meeting of the Milli Mejlis.

According to him, under the Labor Code of Kazakhstan, except for staff reduction and failure to pass certification, termination of employment contract at the employer's initiative is not allowed for persons who have less than two years left until retirement age.

"Similar practice is applied in several other states. In this regard, it would be expedient that in Azerbaijan too, employers should not be allowed to dismiss citizens who have two years left until retirement. This is important from the perspective of protecting their social rights," Bayramov emphasized.
