France, a country famous for workers protections, also allows for:
* rupture conventionnelle, by mutual agreement, which requires at least 1/4 month salary per year on the job for less than 10 years, 1/3 month for more than 10
* licenciement économique, which has a mandatory procedure, and requires 1-2 months notice of the employee, with a compensation same as the above
Since the procedure for the second one is a bit involved and requires approval from the mini-union embedded in all companies over 50 employees and a government agency (since it's only intended when there's economic troubles), often employers would prefer to pay extra compensation in a rupture conventionnelle instead of wasting time with the procedure.
Honestly doesn't sound much more complicated than Switzerland, yet nobody would say this allows France to have low unemployment.
