Description
Employers must notify their workforce about planned redundancies 20 working days in advance. The notice must be communicated in writing; most often it is a stand-alone document, but sometimes in practice it may be a clause in the dismissal decision, which states that the decision will come into force at the end of the notice period.
If the employment contract is suspended (e.g. for medical reasons), the notice is also suspended. This may delay the time of actual termination of the contract.
The provisions are applicable both to individual and collective dismissals.
