Description
The employer must inform the Employment Service in writing about the procedure of establishing collective redundancies (within 30 days, dismissals of at least 10 employees in companies with 21-99 workers, at least 10% in companies with 100-299 employees or at least 30 dismissals in larger firms). The employer is obliged to consider and to take into account any proposals submitted by the Employment Service in order to reduce the harmful consequences of collective dismissals.
The notification must include:
- the confirmation that the employer has conducted consultations with trade unions,
- the reasons for the redundancies,
- the number and categories of all workers employed,
- the foreseen categories of redundant workers, and
- the foreseen term in which the work of the redundant workers will no longer be needed.
A copy of the written notification must be sent to the trade unions.
The employer may give notice of termination of employment contracts to redundant workers by taking into account the adopted dismissal programme for redundant workers, but not prior to the expiration of a 30-day period from the notification of the Employment Service about the procedure. The expiration period may be extended to a 60-day period at the request of the Employment Service.
