Relevant laws:

The Employment Security Act (LAS) : Regulates the grounds for dismissal and the employer's obligations, including redeployment obligations and rotation rules.

The Co-determination Act (MBL) : Regulates the employer's obligation to negotiate with trade unions in the event of layoffs and other important changes in the business.

The Discrimination Act : Ensures that no dismissals take place on discriminatory grounds.

Common questions:

1. What is a labor shortage? Lack of work is a legal ground for dismissal that does not relate to the employee's personal circumstances, but to the company's financial situation, reorganization or reduced demand.

2. How long is the notice period in the event of a lack of work? The notice period is regulated by the employment contract or collective agreement, but according to LAS it is usually between one and six months depending on the length of employment.

3. What does relocation obligation mean? The employer must first investigate whether there is an opportunity to redeploy the employee within the company before a dismissal can take place. This means that the employer must try to find another suitable position for the employee.

4. How do the turn order rules work? The rote rules, often called "last in, first out," mean that those hired last are the first to be laid off, with some exceptions based on sufficient qualifications and company size.

5. What is preferential right to re-employment? Employees dismissed due to a lack of work have a preferential right to re-employment if a similar position becomes available within nine months of the dismissal, provided they notify their interest in writing.
