Grounds for disciplinary dismissal according to the provisions of the 2019 Labor Code – An analysis from a practical perspective

Abstract

Due to its serious nature and great impact on the interests of employees, the disciplinary form of dismissal is only executed when the employer has grounds in accordance with the law. The serious nature of this labour disciplinary measure is why legal provisions on grounds for dismissal must be strict and highly practical. The article discusses curent legal provisions on grounds for dismissal, and analyses the inadequacies in the process of implementing the law in order to propose some recommendations on clarifying terminology, harmonizing provisions of different legal documents and supplementing grounds for dismissal to resolve the inadequacies in practice.
