Today, redundancy compensation is not universally granted, but only to the extent that the company is subject to a collective agreement which contains provisions on redundancy compensation, usually correlated with seniority in the company.

Until 2010, a collective agreement concluded at the national level was in force which gave employees the right to redundancy compensation in the event of a collective dismissal. This collective agreement covered all employees. However, starting from 2011, a respective national collective agreement is no longer in force and, in addition, there are very few sectoral collective agreements. Today, we can find provisions on redundancy compensation mainly in the company level collective agreements. Indeed, some collective agreements provide compensations of 6-12 average wages in the event of redundancy, but in many cases there are either no applicable collective agreements or the applicable one does not provide any compensation in case of redundancy.
