Thanks for the advices. They are very useful.

The employee in question is now around 63-65 years old, and I doubt he will prepare to find another job in the same industry, if after lay-off.

The new department of the company will focus more on use of new social media, e.g. facebook, websites, wechat, cell phone, etc. to develop our products. The employee in question should not have enough knowledge with the new technology.

My question is: Will the termination with no cause and lay-off be treated the same ‘ We have sufficient background documents (e.g. business strategy and proposal) for valid reason of re-structure and not special pin-point the employee in question,

If we agree to pay the employee in question more than minimum required by the law, that is, 11 weeks, then how much more we should pay, so as to avoid possible litigation ‘ Given he has worked in the company for 22 years
