Will the employer have access to the electronic employment record of a former employee after their departure, in order to enter compensation under Article 222 (retirement/illness)?

The employer is obliged to submit the electronic employment record within 7 days from the date of payment of compensation upon termination of the employment relationship on the grounds of Article 222, Paragraphs 2 and/or 3 of the Labour Code (due to retirement or illness).

In practice, this means that if the compensation is paid a few days after the submission of the termination record, a second electronic record will have to be submitted specifically for the purpose of declaring the compensation, even though the person is already a former employee.

As for whether the employer will retain access to the individual’s Unified Electronic Employment Record after the employee’s status changes to “former”, this remains to be determined once the register is fully established.
