Although the European Union is underpinned by common principles, considerable differences remain even beyond simple linguistic barriers. These differences are particularly noticeable in the development and application of labour laws across the continent. The Guide for Europe prepared by law firm CMS provides an overview of termination procedures for employees and managing directors in 24 European countries and Russia, including Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia. The first part of the guide deals with termination procedures for employees and the second part for managing directors. The guide is intended to provide CMS’s international clients, with a summary of local laws across all 25 countries, making it easier to understand both the similarities and differences between each jurisdiction.
