Luxembourg Labour Law & Workplace Protection

Most Common Employment Issues We Help Identify

Luxembourg's Labour Code (Code du travail) provides strong protections for employees—but strict deadlines and procedural rules apply. Identify where your situation fits.

Art. L.124-5 & L.124-11 · Code du travail

Dismissal & Termination Disputes

Dismissed with notice (licenciement avec préavis) or for serious misconduct (faute grave)? In Luxembourg, you have 1 month to request the written reasons by registered letter and 3 months to contest an abusive dismissal.

Art. L.246-1 to L.246-7 · Law of 29 March 2023

Moral Harassment (Mobbing) & Burnout

Facing repeated hostility, isolation, or toxic management pressure? Luxembourg law obliges employers to stop moral harassment, protects victims and witnesses from retaliation, and empowers the Staff Delegation and ITM to intervene.

Art. L.211-27 & L.221-1 · Wages & Hours

Unpaid Overtime, Salary & Indexation

Missing wage indexation (tranche indiciaire), uncompensated overtime, withheld bonuses, or refused statutory leave? Wage claims in Luxembourg remain enforceable for 3 years with strong documentary evidence.

Art. L.121-6 · Incapacity & Maternity

Sick Leave & Protected Employees

Notified your employer on day 1 and submitted your medical certificate by day 3? You are legally shielded from dismissal for up to 26 weeks of sick leave, as well as during pregnancy, parental leave, or staff delegate mandates.

Art. L.121-7 · Contract Clauses

Unilateral Contract Modification

Pressured to sign an addendum (avenant) reducing your pay, changing your workplace, or stripping responsibilities? Unfavorable changes to essential contract terms must follow strict notice and pre-interview rules.

Art. L.411-1 · 15+ Employees Threshold

Staff Delegation (Délégation du personnel)

Every company in Luxembourg with 15+ employees must have a Staff Delegation. Need to contact a delegate confidentially, prepare for a pre-dismissal interview (entretien préalable), or set up a delegation?

Frequently Asked Questions

Employment Rights & Staff Delegations in Luxembourg

What should I do first if I receive a dismissal letter in Luxembourg?
If you are dismissed with notice (licenciement avec préavis) in Luxembourg, you have strictly 1 month from notification to request the precise reasons by registered letter (lettre recommandée). Once the employer replies (or for immediate dismissal), a 3-month deadline applies to contest unfair dismissal.
When is a Staff Delegation (Délégation du personnel) mandatory in Luxembourg?
Under Article L.411-1 of the Luxembourg Labour Code, every private-sector company employing at least 15 workers in Luxembourg is legally required to have an elected Staff Delegation to represent and defend employees.
Am I protected against dismissal during sick leave in Luxembourg?
Yes, under Article L.121-6 of the Labour Code, you are protected against dismissal for up to 26 consecutive weeks, provided you inform your employer on the 1st day of absence and submit your medical certificate no later than the 3rd day.
How can I report workplace harassment (mobbing) in Luxembourg?
Since the Luxembourg Law of 29 March 2023 on moral harassment, employers must stop harassment immediately and protect victims and witnesses from retaliation. You can seek assistance from your Staff Delegation and escalate to the Inspection du travail et des mines (ITM).
Can my employer change my salary, working hours, or role without my consent?
No. Under Article L.121-7 of the Luxembourg Labour Code, any substantial modification of an essential clause to the employee's detriment must follow the same strict procedure and notice period as a dismissal.
Is my request on Delegations.lu confidential from my employer?
Yes. Submitting an employment issue assessment on Delegations.lu is strictly confidential. Your employer is never notified, and we recommend using a personal email address for complete peace of mind.
