employment protection
Safeguards for workers
Employment protection refers to laws and regulations that shield workers from arbitrary dismissal, unsafe conditions, or unfair treatment.
These protections typically include requirements for just cause in terminations, advance notice of layoffs, and severance pay.
Countries with strong employment protection make it harder for companies to fire workers during downturns.
The term often appears in debates about labor market flexibility versus job security.
