Section 15-7. Protection against unfair dismissal

(1) Employees may not be dismissed unless this is objectively justified based on circumstances relating to the undertaking, the employer or the employee.
(2) Dismissal due to curtailed operations or rationalisation measures is not objectively justified if the employer has other suitable work in the undertaking to offer the employee. When deciding whether a dismissal is objectively justified by curtailed operations or rationalisation measures, the needs of the undertaking shall be weighed against the disadvantage caused by the dismissal of the individual employee.
(3) Dismissal owing to an employer's actual or planned contracting out of the undertaking's ordinary operations to a third party is not objectively justified unless it is essential to maintain the continued operation of the undertaking.
