Plan for Employee Utilization: Who Has the Authority to Approve?
At Article 44 of the Labor Code 2019, it is stipulated:
- The employment plan must contain the following main contents:
a) The number and list of employees to continue to be employed, employees to be retrained for continued employment, employees to be transitioned to part-time work;
b) The number and list of employees retiring;
c) The number and list of employees whose labor contracts must be terminated;
d) The rights and obligations of the employer, the employees, and related parties in implementing the employment plan;
dd) Measures and financial sources to ensure the implementation of the plan.
- When formulating the employment plan, the employer must consult with the representative organization of employees at the establishment where such an organization exists. The employment plan must be publicly announced to employees within 15 days from the date it is approved.
=> Thus, according to the aforementioned regulations, the law does not stipulate that the employment plan must be approved by a specific individual or authority. Instead, the law requires that the employment plan is an agreement between the employer and the representative organization of employees at the establishment.
Respectfully.
