Well no, not really. Employees in these European countries actually have rights and can't be fired on the spot for no reason.

In Europe we generally have several months notice period for quitting AND getting fired.

In the Netherlands the notice period for getting fired is twice the notice period for quitting.

You technically can get fired on the spot but you have to do something really bad for that. And it's still a rough legal battle.

If you follow the notice period procedure it's all perfectly fine.

@Rolive @jpreston2005 My contract states a notice period of 6 months. Now that we are downsizing, that is both comforting and unnerving.

The immediate dismissial would be for actions like breaking the trust (e.g. egregious theft or mishandling confidential data in a high security and trust job)
