Description
The dismissal programme, drawn up by the employer in a collective dismissal procedure (within 30 days, dismissals of at least 10 employees in companies with 21-99 workers, at least 10% in companies with 100-299 workers and at least 30 dismissals in larger firms), shall among others contain the measures and criteria for the selection of measures to mitigate the harmful consequences of the termination of employment relationships, such as an offer for employment with another employer, assurance of financial assistance, assistance for starting an independent activity or purchase of pension qualifying period.
The dismissal programme is the employer's obligation only in cases of collective dismissals.
With a view to reaching an agreement, the employer has to consult the trade union about the dismissal programme for redundant workers. However, the employer is not required to take explicit account of the trade union’s views.
The employer must inform the Employment Service in writing about the procedure of establishing redundancies of a larger number of workers and the performed consultation with the trade union. The employer is obliged to consider and to take into account any proposals submitted by the Employment Service regarding possible measures for preventing or limiting to the greatest possible extent the termination of employment relationships of workers and the measures for the mitigation of harmful consequences of the termination of employment relationships.
