Government has revised much-discussed proposal, confirms Lindström

Jari Lindström (BR), the Minister of Employment, confirms that the government has made two revisions to its much-discussed proposal to allow small businesses to lay off staff on personal grounds.

Lindström stated in a press conference earlier today that the government has lowered the employee limit for eligible businesses from 10 to 20 and reduced the waiting period for unemployment benefits for employees laid off on personal grounds from 90 to 60 days.
