Labour market reform: relaxation concerning consequences of unlawful dismissal, universal
29 June 2012
The labour market reform bill of law was approved on 27 June 2012. Below are the principal innovations, with an emphasis on the fact that the most significant
amendments concern individual dismissals (with the intention of achieving “greater flexibility for dismissals”), reform to unemployment benefits (inspired by principles
of fairness and efficiency) and changes to rules governing some categories of contracts (with the intention of curbing improper use of these contracts, while encouraging apprenticeships as a preferred channel for access to the labour market).
