In the event that the employer terminates the employment of an employee as a consequence of streaming the work units, production process and distribution service, due to the introduction or change of machinery or technology which thereby results in the reduction of the number of employees, the employer must notify the Labor Inspector and the employee concerned at least 60 days before the date of termination of the employment or pay in lieu of the advance notice to the employee the amount equal to 60 days’ wages. The terminated employee will be entitled to the prescribed severance pay. Moreover, if the terminated employee, has worked consecutively for over 6 years, the employee would be entitled to an additional special severance pay at the rate of 15 days’ wages per one full year of service, calculating from the start of year seven onwards. However, the total amount of this additional special severance pay is limited to the equivalent of 360 days’ wage.
