Description
Lithuanian temporary employment agency RJF Baltic will dismiss 102 employees in Klaipeda at the beginning of 2018. The main cause of the dismissals is the bankruptcy of the company that was announced by the Department of Enterprise Bankruptcy Management under the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania on 11 October 2017. The company is currently undergoing bankruptcy procedures and has already handed out layoff notices to all 102 employees. The Lithuanian Labour Exchange will develop a special prevention program for the dismissed employees to facilitate their integration in the labour market.
