Redundancy promises Wyborowa workers zl.250,000

Pernod Ricard of France, owner of an 80% stake in Wyborowa, has announced plans to lay off 200 workers. The vodka maker, which used to be known as Polmos Poznan, currently has 640 employees. Pernod Ricard estimates that the redundancy program will cost around zl.60 million. Company representatives insist that there will be no forced lay-offs. Employees will be given the option of redundancy pay equivalent to the total amount they would be due during the period guaranteed in their employment package, which is four years. In this case, workers who accept voluntary redundancy could be entitled to a lump sum worth up to zl.250,000. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) A.K.
