Reforms to the redundancy law system will allow companies to sack staff without official permission and workers will then have to go to court to fight their dismissal, the Volkskrant reports on Friday.

The paper says the measure, part of the five-party austerity package finalised last month, will be discussed by ministers later on Friday.
Currently, companies have to apply either to the district courts or to the UWV state benefit agency for permission to sack staff with a permanent contract.
Loophole
The new rules would allow employers to fire workers by writing a letter containing the reasons for the dismissal. Social affairs minister Henk Kamp is still working out how to stop large firms taking fraudulent advantage of the new rules, the Volkskrant says.
Kamp hopes the proposal will be debated in parliament before the summer recess and can then become law later in the year. The changes would come into effect in 2014, he said.
Supporters of redundancy law reform say making it easier to sack staff will encourage companies to hand out more permanent contracts and take on older staff.
