1. The rights stipulated in this Decree by law represent the minimum rights for Workers, and the provisions thereof shall not prejudice any of the rights granted to the Worker under any other legislation, agreement, acknowledgment, system, or employment contract that grants the Worker rights that are more beneficial than the rights established under the provisions of this Decree by law. 2. An Employer or Worker may not misapply the provisions of this Decree by law, its Executive Regulation, and the resolutions issued in implementation thereof. Neither of them may do any act that would pressure the freedom of the other or the freedom of other Workers or Employers to achieve any interest or point of view adopted thereby, which is incompatible with the freedom of work or the competence of the authority competent to settle disputes. 3. Every condition that violates the provisions of this Decree by law, even if it is prior to its entry into force, shall be considered null unless it is more beneficial to the Worker; and every release, reconciliation, or waiver of the rights arising to the Worker under this Decree by law shall be considered null, if it is in violation of its provisions. 4. The Employer may create and implement organisational programmes or organisational regulations in the Establishment that are more beneficial to the Worker than what is established under the provisions of this Decree by law and its Executive Regulation. If such programmes and regulations conflict with the provisions of this Decree by law, the conditions that are more beneficial to the Worker shall apply. 5. The Employer may not review the terms and conditions of the valid employment contract with the Worker prior to the issuance of this Decree by law, with the aim of implementing the provisions of this Decree by law, unless such amendments aim to achieve a greater interest and benefit for the Worker. The employment contract may be updated upon its expiry in accordance with the provisions of this Decree by law. 6. The Employer or Worker may terminate the indefinite-term employment contract concluded before the entry into force of this Decree by law, for a legitimate reason after notifying the other party in writing for a period not less than thirty (30) days if the service period is less than five (5) years; a period not less than sixty (60) days if the service period is more than five (5) years; and a period not less than ninety (90) days if the service period is more than ten (10) years. 7. The amounts of money entitled to the Worker or his family members under the provisions of this Decree by law shall have a priority over all the money of the Employer, and they shall be collected directly after the paying the amounts due to the public treasury and the legal alimony awarded to the wife and children.
