Description
In Bulgaria, companies envisage redundancies only as last resort and only after having considered all possible alternative options and/or identifying and implementing supporting measures (such as phasing planned measures over time, extending or reducing working time, seeking replacement activities). The employer is obliged to consult with trade unions about such alternatives. The trade unions may submit a statement to the Employment Agency (not compulsory) related to options for future employment of the dismissed employees.
