About this statute
Employers may make a fixed-term employment contract with a long-term unemployed person without needing the usual special reason, and the contract is limited to one year with limited renewals. En arbetsgivare ska erbjuda arbete till en tidigare uppsagd arbetstagare som är arbetssökande, om arbetsgivaren behöver personal för samma eller liknande arbete inom fyra månader efter att anställningen upphörde. Om anställningen varat utan avbrott i minst 12 år gäller sex månader. An employer must notify the labour authority without delay in certain mass-termination cases, and employees have leave rights linked to termination and employment services. The provision says these rules are mandatory, even where the duty to offer work otherwise applies. Certain municipalities, associations, foundations, and registered religious communities may hire or arrange work-related placements in specified service settings, subject to stated conditions and exclusions.
