Attorney Irene Karoussos talks Employment Termination, Sole Uno, Tick Tacks Episode 4 - What Do I Miss Most?

Broadcast on: 
19 February, 2019

On today's show, attorney Irene Karoussos joined us to talk about a difficult subject, especially for expats living and working in a foreign country: employment termination. Irene has her own private practice based in Basel, one of her specialities is Labor Law. What are employer obligations and employee rights during a termination? Can you be terminated without cause? What kind of recourse do you have if you've been notified of a termination proceeding? What are your compensation rights? When is a termination "abusive" and how should one respond? Is it better to quit or wait if you expect to be terminated? Irene helped us consider the answers to all of these subjects in addition to confronting how you might feel - listen to the interview again here.  A quick disclaimer: Always consult your own counsel when addressing legal matters especially those relating to employment.  If you would like to contact Irene, find her website here.

 

sole uno is a wellness world in Rheinfelden, close to Basel. You can float weightlessly as if you were in the Dead Sea in the healthy Rheinfelden Natursole®. Relax like the Finns and Russians have for generations. Enjoy beneficial massages. Escape the routine and dive into the fire and ice pool, in the tropical rain, Alpine waterfalls or in the aromatic steam. Last month, sole uno opened two new saunas. Els Steinbrecher, who works at the information desk, showed our reporter Ingrid Koning around this wellness world. Listen to the report again here.

 

What do we miss most from the places we've lived before? What do we think we'd miss most from where we live now? Our hosts explore the people, places and things we miss, on this week's episode of Tick Tacks, the show about Third Culture Kids. Our hosts are Sam Oliphant and Gwil Rowlands, and the podcast is produced and edited by Dan Saks. Listen to episode 4 again here.
