Labour Code, Law no. 53/2003 [Codul muncii, Legea nr. 53/2003] - 67
Description
The Labour Code provides (only as a mere possibility) that employees dismissed for reasons which do not pertain to their person may benefit from redundancy compensation under the terms stipulated:
* by the law. Such pieces of legislation were indeed applicable to certain industries (and in particular to state-owned units), but today they are no longer in force;
* by the applicable collective agreement.
The Labour Code - as a general law - therefore does not include explicit provisions on redundancy compensation; compensatory payments are currently only provided in collective agreements.
