Description
When planning to dismiss or to temporarily lay off one or more employees, or when planning to turn one or more full-time employment relationships into a part-time, the employer is obliged to deliver the negotiation proposal with relevant details to the public employment services (TE Office) before the beginning of the negotiations.
When planning to dismiss 10 or more employees the employer must draw up a plan of action specifying ways to promote the reemployment of workers who are about to lose their jobs. In cooperation with the public employment services, the employer must chart the availability of services available for supporting employment. The plan must include the estimated schedule of the negotiations, the procedures to be followed therein, and principles for the use of public employment services and for supporting reemployment and training during the dismissal notice period.
The clauses are applicable to companies with 20 or more employees.
The Law on Amending the Employment Contracts Act [Laki työsopimuslain muuttamisesta] (403/2023), which will enter into force as of January 1st, 2025, states that the employer must immediately notify the labor authority of the dismissal of employees, if there are at least ten employees to be dismissed on economic or production grounds. The notification must state the number of employees to be dismissed, their hometowns, occupations or job duties, and the dates of termination of employment.
