COVID 19 – Terminanition of Employment Contracts Due to Business Reasons

Abstract

The article deals with Slovenian regulation of the termination of employment contracts due to business reasons. According to settled case law, any termination of an employment contract is ultima ratio of the employer. In addition to pre-redundancy alternatives in ZDR-1 and a review of measures from the PKP packages, the options offered to employers by the state to prevent redundancies, at least at the moment do not provide a sufficient basis for the legality of redundancies solely because of an economic crisis due to the pandemic.
