I don't agree. Contractors are the first to go, followed by temporary employees.

It is much easier for companies to let temporary contracts expire than start the actual process to get permission to fire employees.

You are shifting goalposts. Firing != expiring.

If you want to fire someone on a temporary contract, you will have to pay him off.

That's not "will" it is "might". You can wait until their contract ends. You can also fire the person if they severely misbehaved (stealing.. though not just 0.03 EUR like someone at Action who took a shopping bag :-p).

Note that "fire" is often used in case of involuntary dismissal, so saying that they need to be paid off is weird if you use "fire".
