Italian term or phrase: licenziamento a tempo determinato
Non ho mai sentito questa espressione e potrebbe anche essere un modo sbagliato di dire licenziamento con preavviso:
"dopo solo un anno l’azienda comunica a P.S. di non avere più bisogno di lui e concordano un licenziamento a tempo determinato."
Il testo non è di diritto del lavoro o simili, parla del test BTSA ed è stato scritto da un ricercatore neuroscientifico, però magari mi sbaglio io e l'espressione esiste...

furlough


Explanation:
This is what is commonly used, at least in the US, to refer to people who are asked temporarily not to come in to work. Recently there has been a lot of talk about US airline pilots being furloughed, for example, which doesn't necessarily mean they are going to lose their jobs, just that there isn't any work for them for an indeterminate spell, at the end of which they will eventually either be asked to come back, or definitively dismissed.

As per:

http://humanresources.about.com/od/glossaryf/g/furlough.htm

Definition:

Employee furloughs are mandatory time off work with no pay. Used as an alternative to a layoff, employee furloughs can occur in both public and private sector organizations when revenue or projected revenue fails to match expenses. Revenue is generated through product sales, grants, and governmental support and subsidies.

In mandatory employee furloughs, employees take unpaid or partially paid time off of work for periods of time. The employees generally have either scheduled time off or call back rights and expectations. To schedule employees with a contract, including union-represented employees, for employee furloughs, the contract must be renegotiated. The negotiations about employee furloughs generally include a call-back date.

Examples of employee furloughs include closing a business for two weeks, reducing employee time on the job to three weeks a month instead of four, and asking employees to take two days a month off without pay. Other employees have been put on furloughs indefinitely.
