Dismissing employees in the Czech Republic is one of the most difficult in Europe
In the Czech Republic, rules for dismissing employees are among the strictest in Europe. For example, it is almost impossible to part ways with an employee who just does not fit in the team. With costs related to an employee dismissal for organisational reasons, the Czech Republic ranks fourteen. Those are the findings of the fourth edition of the Deloitte International Dismissal Survey, which compares the situation in 46 countries in Europe, South America and Southeast Asia.

Golden Age index: How well are the OECD economies harnessing the power of an older workforce?
