Employer enterprises
Employer enterprise deaths
An employer enterprise has ceased to exist when, after a period with at least 0.5 FTE per year of labour force on the payroll (excl. the managing director), there is less than 0.5 FTE per year of labour force on the payroll. This does not necessarily coincide with the enterprise's death; it may be that an enterprise no longer has employees, but still continues to carry out economic activities.
