Reorganization and Collective Dismissal for Works Councils: Everything You Need to Know

The world of work is constantly evolving, and companies must continuously adapt to new circumstances. This may involve growth, downsizing, selling business units, mergers, acquisitions, or relocations. Sometimes, a reorganization, through restructuring or other means, is unavoidable. In these situations, Works Councils (ORs) play a crucial role and need to be well-prepared.

1. What should be taken into account during a reorganization?
2. Is there a prescribed dismissal order in case of redundancy?
3. Are severance payments mandatory?
4. And is a social plan required?

During this interactive session, Jaouad Seghrouchni (Senior Associate at De Clercq Advocaten Notariaat) and Thomas Catersels (Employment Law and Employee Participation Attorney at De Clercq Advocaten Notariaat) will discuss the key (legal) aspects of reorganizations involving redundancies. They will also provide practical insights and recommendations specifically for Works Councils.
