Termination of Employment Digest: COMPARATIVE TABLES
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/dialogue/ifpdial/info/termination/tables.htm
These tables are intended to set out basic information relating to termination of employment in a way that is easily readable and assists basic comparative analysis. For reasons of space, some of the entries in the tables will be generalizations; if a fuller picture is required the national summaries for each country and the relevant national legislation should be consulted.
Table 1
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/dialogue/ifpdial/info/termination/downloads/table1.pdf
deals with the basic parameters of national statutory unfair and unjustified dismissal schemes, starting with the question of whether dismissals must be justified by the employer. This table also deals with the procedural questions of whether consultation with employee representatives and administrative authorization are required for individual dismissals (table 4 deals with collective dismissals). Finally, this table also sets out the statutory compensation that is generally granted, and whether reinstatement is available to unfairly or unjustifiably dismissed employees.
Table 2
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/dialogue/ifpdial/info/termination/downloads/table2.pdf
deals with the issue of statutory notice requirements: the minimum period of notice, if any, provided by statute and whether the employer can make a payment in lieu of notice.
Table 3
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/dialogue/ifpdial/info/termination/downloads/table3.pdf
deals with specially protected situations in relation to dismissal, including that of trade union representatives, women on maternity leave and other specially protected workers, in particular workers protected by anti-discrimination law.
Finally,
Table 4
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/dialogue/ifpdial/info/termination/downloads/table4.pdf
deals with statutory requirements for collective dismissals. These comprise whether an employer must consult with employee representatives and whether administrative notification or approval is required. The table also addresses other aspects of collective dismissals, i.e. statutory severance pay that is due to the worker and whether a social plan is required.
