Cooperation negotiations and lay-offs

Companies within the scope of the Co-operation Act must negotiate changes affecting employees in advance. Such changes include, for example, lay-offs. All employers must ensure that employees are aware of the planned lay-offs in advance.

Lay-offs or giving notice are not the only option when your company has to react to fluctuations in the need for workforce. For example, arrangements of working hours or training your employees may be a more flexible solution during quiet periods.
