The parties to the agreement agreed, among others, selection criteria for employees whose employment contracts will be terminated and whose terms and conditions of employment will be amended as part of collective redundancies, severance pay conditions and additional compensation and the scope of the assistance program for dismissed employees. It was also agreed that collective redundancies will be carried out from 24 March 2021 to 30 June 2021.
