If I resign after a lay-off has lasted for 200 days, do I have the right to receive pay for the period of notice?

Lay-off

The employee has the right to terminate their employment relationship with immediate effect during the lay-off, up until seven days before the date of resuming work announced by the employer.

If the lay-off has lasted for more than 200 calendar days without interruption, the employee who has been laid off full-time has the right to receive pay for their period of notice. Your severance pay will be calculated on the basis of the period of notice specified by your employer.

A person who has been laid off on a part-time basis does not have the right to receive pay for their period of notice, even if the lay-off has lasted more than 200 days. Exceptionally, an employer may be obliged to pay the wages for the period of notice also to a person laid off on a part-time basis if the employment during the lay-off only represents a very small part of the regular working hours or if the employer invites the employee to work for a short period of time only to avoid the 200 days being completed.
