Adding to this great comment.

Switzerland, default rules regarding termination (if I recall correctly). * first month of work, 0 second notice * rest of the first year of work, 1 month notice * second year of work, 2 months notice * years after third, 3 months notice

Impossible to terminate: pregnant women, before and also during the legal maternity leave. Common termination is the day upon returning to the office.

Personnel called up for the army or civil defence. People on a fixed contract.

Employer must give notice but may be without reasons. Without reasons often leads to lawsuits, because terminated will claim one of the illegal (discrimination etc) reasons applies. Still cost of a lawsuit is normally not prohibitive.

In case of critical financial issue termination maybe shorter (mass-layoffs).
