The employer has the right to dismiss the employee without reason and warning (at will), but with payment of compensation (not less than half of minimum wage)
Most dangerous provisions
Introduction of a special contractual regime on small and medium enterprises (up to 250 employees), namely the possibility of concluding a ‘simplified’ employment contract. The parties will be able to agree on some issues of working time (e.g., extra grounds for overtime)
