The Estonian Employment Contract Act was amended in the way that the age of an employee is no longer basis for the termination of an employment contract on the initiative by an employer. For the time being an employer may terminate an employment contract if the employee reaches the age of 65 years and is entitled to the full old-age pension. The amendment will become effective starting from 4 March 2006. For further information please contact Rando Maisvee at rando.maisvee@otsco.ee
