ABSTRACT
If all things were equal, it would not be such a crazy idea to consider leaner redundancy rules for those employers investing heavily in training. The thinking is that businesses committed to lifelong continuous training produce employees who find it easier to get new jobs, and therefore should be liable to pay less in redundancy compensation. Germany, for instance, has far tighter employment practices than Great Britain, and its employers face extortionate redundancy bills.
