Šio darbo pirmoje dalyje yra nagrinėjama Europos Bendrijų teisės aktuose nustatytos garantijos darbuotojams, taikomos įmonės reorganizavimo atveju. Tyrimo metu analizuojama Direktyva Nr. 2001/23/EB, remiantis Europos Teisingumo Teismo praktiką, aiškinamos direktyvos nuostatos įtvirtinančios individualią bei kolektyvinę darbuotojų interesų apsaugą. Antrojoje dalyje analizuojama reorganizavimo samprata civilinėje bei darbo teisėje, atskleidžiama reorganizavimo sąvoka, būdai, etapai. Pateikiamas reorganizavimo palyginimas su likvidavimo procedūra bei restruktūrizavimu. Taip pat analizuojamos Lietuvos Respublikos darbo kodekso normos, nustatančios apribojimus darbdaviui nutraukti darbo sutartį reorganizuojant įmonę. Tyrimo metu paaiškėja, kad nacionalinės teisės aktai nevisiškai atitinka Direktyvos Nr. 2001/23/EB tikslus. Nors reorganizavimas pats savaime nėra teisėta priežastis darbo santykių nutraukimui, tačiau darbuotojų apsauga nėra absoliuti. Reorganizavimo metu ir jam pasibaigus įmonėje susiklosto sudėtingi darbo santykiai, darbo santykių tęstinumas ne visada yra užtikrinamas. Todėl trečioje darbo dalyje yra kalbama apie darbdavio teisės nutraukti darbo sutartį įgyvendinimą bei jos apribojimus, aptariama darbuotojų perkėlimo galimybė, informavimo ir konsultavimo pareigos realizavimas. Darbo pabaigoje yra suformuluotos išvados remiantis atliktu teisės aktų bei Europos Teisingumo Teismo bei Lietuvos Aukščiausiojo Teismo praktikos tyrimu bei teisės doktrinos analize. / In the first part the main issue is analyzes of European Communities law and the Directive No 2001/23/EC witch laid down legal guarantees for the employees during the process of enterprises reorganization.

There are given a comparison of reorganization and liquidation, reorganization and restructuring. This part of work also includes analyzes of Labour Code norms, which laid down restrictions on employer who is unallowable to terminate the employment contract during reorganization of the enterprises. The study reveals that national legislation does not fully comply with purposes of Directive No 2001/23/EC. Although, reorganization in itself is not a legitimate reason for termination of employment, but employment protection is not absolute too. During the reorganization and after this process, labour relations between employer and employees may be complicated and employment succession is not always guaranteed. Therefore, there is talking about the employer's right to terminate the labour contract, the implementation and restricts of this right. Last part also includes discussion about possibility to transfer... [to full text]

Despite the fact that this economic concept can be interpreted from many perspectives, this work approaches it from a labour law point of view. In order to safeguard employees‘ rights in the transfer of undertakings situation, the Council directive 77/187/EEC was adopted. Based on the assumption that transfers of undertakings change legal status of employees, the following issues are raised and discussed in this work: how „transfer of undertakings“, „employee representatives“, „information and consultation procedures“ are defined in the Directive 77/187/EEC and case law of EU courts and whether such definitions are clear cut and properly implemented in the national laws of EU member states; theoretical and practical grounds for employees‘ representation and its‘ forms; whether EU model and models of separate EU member of information and consultation secures the continuity of rights of employee representatives in transfer of undertakings situation. It is concluded that the above mentioned definitions still raise practical problems, models of implementation differ from state to state.

1 Principle of flexicurity in legal regulation of transfer of rights and obligations from the employment-law relations Abstract In her PhD thesis, the author deals with the legal regulation of transfer of rights and obligations arising from employment-law relations in the Czech Republic, in the context of the European union law, from the point of view of the concept of flexicurity in the employment-law relations. This concept includes, on the one hand, elements of flexibility in the realization of employment-law relations, and, on the other hand, security (protection) of employees in these relations which is manifested in particular by the transfer of rights and obligations from their employment-law relations to the new employer itself. At present, when changes in the employers' organizational structure, transfers of activities or tasks, mergers, the purchase of a business or a business lease, but also so called outsourcing, insourcing, and change of suppliers are becoming more and more common in companies, the issue of change of the employer, and consequently, safeguarding and protection of the rights of employees, in particular safeguarding of their employment-law relations, is becoming more up to date. Protection of employees' rights during the transfers of undertakings and businesses is one of the...

Les groupes de sociétés rassemblent des sociétés juridiquement distinctes mais liées entre elles par des rapports de domination et de coopération au point de former une entité relativement identifiable. Leur organisation renvoie au jeu mêlé de la norme sociétaire et de la norme contractuelle. Prises de participation, pactes extra-statutaires, contrats commerciaux permettent à la société dominante de contrôler et de coordonner les activités des sociétés dominées au gré de la stratégie de développement par elle arrêtée. Mais, fondé sur le paradigme de l’entreprise, le droit du travail néglige souvent la relation de dépendance économique et juridique inhérente au groupe. Il n’appréhende qu’une relation de travail binaire unissant la société employeur à ses salariés ; les groupes ont généralement la volonté d’assurer l’unité de la collectivité de travail par la création d’un socle institutionnel commun et le partage d’une vision stratégique. En résulte une politique à bien des égards originale de gestion des effectifs, vecteur d’unité et instrument de protection des intérêts du groupe et de tous ceux qui contribuent au déploiement de son activité… avec l’effet ultime de donner au groupe l’allure d’une entreprise. / Corporate groups gather entities that are legally distinct but linked to each other’s in a context of domination and cooperation forming a relatively identifiable entity. Their organization belongs to both corporate standards and contractual standards. Acquisition of a stake, stability pacts and commercial contracts enable the parent company to take control over and to coordinate the activities of dominated companies for the sake of the developing strategy that it determined. However, built upon the paradigm of the company, labour law frequently neglect the economic and legal relationship of dependence existing within the group. It only apprehends a bilateral working relationship between the company and its workers/employees; the corporate groups often have the will to ensure unity of the overall workforce by creating a common institutional set and the share of a strategic vision. This lead to an original political approach for workforce management, a means to enhance unity and tool to protect the group’s interests also with the interest of those who contribute to the deployment of the activity… with the ultimate effect to project on the group the appearance of a company.

In her PhD thesis, the author deals with the legal regulation of transfer of undertaking (and the passage of the employees' rights and obligations it involves) and the frequent collective redundancy related to such transfers. Both sets of provisions dealing with these topics are embodied in the Czech Labour Code and are harmonised with the EU directives pertaining to these fields, specifically Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses (originally, Council Directive 77/187/EEC of 14 February 1977 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of businesses) and Council Directive 98/59/EC of 20 July 1998 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to collective redundancies. The two directives mentioned above were already transposed to the Czech Labour Code in 2001 by means of an amendment adopted under No. 155/2001 Coll. As regards the rules governing collective redundancies, it can be stated, in substance, that the original regulation of 2001 remained unchanged and...
