Employer has to notify employee about upcoming change in employment 2 months in advance. Employee's refusal to accept such change in employment can be the ground for his dismissal.

Employee's request of a change of employment conditions shall be dependent on employer's consent. Pregnant women and women with a child aged under 3 (in certain cases, under 14) are entitled to request softening of employment conditions.
