Outplacement in the case of individual dismissal
How outplacement makes the difference
2 outplacement categories
If you dismiss an employee, you are sometimes required and sometimes not required to offer outplacement. Legislation outlines two outplacement categories in which you, as an employer, are always obligated to make an offer.
General category
For a notice period or compensation of at least 30 weeks.
Specific category
For employees over 45 years old with at least 1 year of seniority and a notice period of less than 30 weeks.
Important to know
- In both categories, the employer is required to offer outplacement.
- In the special scheme, the employee is also obligated to accept the offer (risk of suspension of unemployment benefits if they do not comply).
- In certain situations, employers can recover the cost of outplacement.
