No employer may terminate an employee’s contract of employment on the grounds that the employer or the employee is subject to national service obligations, or is called up for national service in performance of a commitment for the duration of the war, or recalled for national service in any capacity whatsoever.
However, the employer may terminate the contract if he can prove serious misconduct on the part of the employee concerned, unrelated to the obligations set out in the first paragraph, or if he finds it impossible to continue the contract for a reason unrelated to these obligations.
