Quote:
The very basics:
-the CPE, or ‘First Employment Contract’, is a particular type of contract with a two year probation period that allows the employer the right to sack the employee without having to give a reason or prior warning. Add by me: also allows employee to leave the job without giving a reason or prior warning
-the CPE affect only under 26 year olds
-it was brought in as part of a wider ‘equal opportunities’ bill after last Novembers banlieue riots
