Episode notes

Portugal and Italy – Impossible to Fire Employees

In Portugal, it is illegal to fire an employee, as there is no termination period and similarly poor performance is not a statutory reason for dismissal in Italy. Could these labour laws contribute to Europe’s relatively low productivity rates?

We discuss:

- How does the law affect both employers and employees?
- The compliance challenges faced by employers
- Is it a good or bad law?
