must be qualified by a reason which frees the company from costs

" because it "

will not be at the initiative of the employer, that one forces to separate from the employee

", underlines for his part Roland Héguy , president of Umih, to AFP. According to the Minister of Labor Élisabeth Borne on Tuesday, it will be a "

dismissal for personal reasons

", with "

all the guarantees of the procedure provided in this case

", accompanied by "

severance pay for the employee

". "

It is a real and serious cause that you cannot finally do your job, since you cannot stay at your workplace,

" she said.
