Ogletree Deakins Podcasts

In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Shirin Aboujawde (New York) and Lina Fernandez (Boston) discuss statutory requirements that are common outside of the United States when an employee is discharged, including payments due to employees upon a termination with cause or without cause. They also explore the high threshold many countries require to discharge employees “for cause.” Lina and Shirin provide examples from China, Costa Rica, Australia, France, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and more.
