On January 1, 2011 an amended act of September 29, 2010 on mitigation of consequences of the economic crisis for employees and entrepreneurs will come into force.
The change concerns both the provisions defining the criterion the achievement of which makes it possible to take advantage of the provisions of the act as well as the provisions defining the period of protection against dismissal of employees employed by entrepreneurs who are in interim financial difficulties and who benefit from the statutory aid. A part of the provisions will come into force only on March 1, 2011, June 1, 2011 as well as January 1, 2012.
The act is intended to make the hitherto provisions less strict.
