It is possible that a collective agreement (CLA) may have made substitute agreements instead of the transitional allowance? In principle, an employee is entitled to a transitional allowance if the employment contract is terminated or not extended by the employer. The collective agreement can therefore stipulate that an employee receives a substitute provision instead of a transitional allowance. This has been possible since 1 January 2020 and only in the case of dismissal due to business economic circumstances.

If provided for by a collective bargaining agreement (CAO). As cited above, this is only possible in case of dismissal due to business economic circumstances.
