Chesta D. Legal and social basis of employees' protection in the case of a mass dismissals.

The study proved that mass dismissals is the dismission by the employer in the case of changes in labor or production organization that entails (one-time or within a specified period) a significant reduction in the number of employees carried out in legally prescribed procedure and entails granting to vacated individuals the additional social and legal guarantees. It's needed a combination of quantitative (number of redundant workers) and time (time period when release has been conducted) criteria to recognize the dismissals as mass. There are measures to prevent and minimize the negative effects of mass dismissals of employees: the restriction or suspension of hiring new employees; ban of combining employment and dismission of already working combining employees; ban the combination of professions (positions); temporary suspension of the activity of legal entity or its individual business units; the abolition of the overtime work using; changing fundamental work conditions; the introduction of part-time work; phased layoffs; other measures providing by collective agreements.
