- ernesth 14y agoThere would be something fundamentally wrong if your employees could not go to court to contest their being fired.
- wlievens 14y agoIf fired for an urgent reason, without compensation, then surely. If fired with a sensible (defined by law) severance package, then absolutely not.
- wazoox 14y agoYou don't need permission to fire an employee. You need permission, however, to fire a significant part of your workforce at the same time. Typically you must justify it (for instance because your revenues dropped), and you can't fire in group again until after 18 months have passed. These rules made much more sense when they came into application mostly during the forties. Back then, just after the war, there were good reasons to be wary of the industry owners, who massively "collaborated" with the Germans (because you know, business is business), and deem them guilty until proven innocent.
