rights to compensation (for loss of employment) Explanation: This is a tricky one as English doesn't seem to have a neat term covering this concept. I have seen one or two official EU docs where this was just described as 'social rights' but that is pretty meaningless to most people in English-speaking countries. Your idea of 'severance' is pretty good - I have used before for 'plan social'. Here I think it means any rights to redundancy pay or similar. |
