Virksomheder benyttede coronakrisen til at slippe af med dyre og besværlige ansatte

Virksomheder benyttede coronakrisen til at slippe af med dyre og besværlige ansatte. Nationalbanken fremhæver i en analyse tre erfaringer fra corona-tidens lønkompensationsordninger:

”Our analysis highlights three main lessons: first, less educated workers have in general been more affected by the crisis. This is mainly driven by the type of firms that are affected by the crisis, and not the decisions of individual firms. Second, a firm’s choice to keep, lay off or furlough workers is also driven by the worker’s attachment to the workplace.

Firms lay off workers with fewer hours and employees with short employment spells, while workers with high seniority are furloughed. Third, workers earning more than peers face a greater risk of being laid off, while firms furlough workers that are less expensive.”
