Types of dismissal

“We are not talking about appropriate or unfair dismissal, but about disciplinary dismissal or dismissal for objective reasons”

Do I have to give 15 days' notice?

“Disciplinary dismissals, the effect is immediate, when I hand over the worker, the relationship is extinguished”

When do we talk about void dismissal?

“When we have a violation of fundamental rights or in those requirements that the law does”

Objective dismissal

“In the objective dismissal, in this sense, I do have to give 15 days' notice”

“Dismissal for supervened disability is when a person returns from long-term leave”

Trial periods

“The businessman does not have to give explanations, the law already allows the businessman only and in writing to make this communication without justification and without compensation”

“The relationship is terminated, your liquidation is given to you and that's it”
