Features: The economic development and changes of enterprises inevitably involve layoffs. Layoffs and recruitment are both normal means of enterprise human resource management. In theory, they are a natural organizational behavior that adapts to the development of the enterprise. However, because they involve "people" and their interests, the issue becomes very complex and sensitive. In fact, "layoff of enterprises" is not a strict legal term. Colloquially, it refers to the elimination of personnel who are relatively redundant for the company's development strategy and work tasks. Legally, it refers to the termination or dissolution of labor contracts due to the unilateral will of the employer. Since this book intends to explore the issue of "layoff of enterprises" from a legal perspective, the main content involved in this book is: how enterprises should legally terminate or dissolve labor contracts with employees. "Layoffs are after all destroying people's livelihoods, so they must be handled cautiously and in accordance with the law. Otherwise, it will cause strong opposition from employees." This is the heartfelt words of a human resources manager with personal experience. Another general manager who has gone through three rounds of layoffs said, "If you do the layoff work well, you might save the company's future. But if you trigger labor disputes due to illegal layoffs, then your troubles have just begun." Layoffs, whether for managers or employees, are painful experiences. To make the pain of layoffs smaller and the benefits greater, it is necessary for enterprise managers and layoff implementers to master comprehensive layoff skills and relevant labor legal knowledge. To teach the methods and key points of laying off employees in accordance with the law, ensure the smooth completion of layoff work, and avoid labor disputes, the author of this book, Zuo Xiangqi, has meticulously summarized his years of dedicated research on layoff theories and his rich experience in providing layoff planning, layoff consulting, layoff advisory, and layoff diagnosis for numerous enterprises, along with a large number of cases, and written this book, dedicating it to the readers. This book is especially suitable for the following readers: enterprise management personnel, human resources managers, trade union cadres, corporate legal advisors, lawyers, labor dispute arbitration officers, labor supervision officers, students majoring in labor law and human resources at universities, and related workers engaged in labor law.
