In particular, recital 8 contains a declaration of the law’s ‘social purpose’. *article 1(2) ‘Member States may, by way of exception, exclude claims by certain categories of employee from the scope of the Directive, by virtue of the special nature of the employee’s contract of employment or employment relationship or of the existence of other forms of guarantee…’ *article 3, ‘Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that guarantee institutions guarantee, subject to article 4. *article 4, payment of employees’ outstanding claims resulting from contracts of employment or employment relationships, including, where provided for by national law, severance pay on termination of employment relationships.
