Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Policies that protect workers against "unjust dismissal" make it more difficult for employers to fire workers. This often leads to a reluctance to hire new workers, as employers fear they may not be able to terminate them if necessary. Additionally, employers may increase hour fluctuations by relying on part-time or temporary workers to avoid the restrictions on terminating full-time employees.
