European comparative analysis: operational restructuring and employment termination

May 28, 2026

Restructuring processes rarely look the same across jurisdictions — and that is exactly what makes cross-border employment advice so challenging.

In the newest edition of our Employment & Labour Laws Newsletter, employment law experts from across the Baker Tilly network take a closer look at how European countries regulate redundancies, workforce reductions and operational restructurings.

The publication covers, among others:

🔹 redundancy procedures and employee protection mechanisms in Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Switzerland,
🔹 comparative insights on notice periods and severance frameworks across jurisdictions,
🔹practical risks connected with the “Employer of Record” model in Poland,
🔹 recent legal developments in Poland and France, including the 2026 reform of employment seniority rules and updates on rupture conventionnelle.
