Many companies do not follow proper procedure in dismissing or terminating employees. Most often than not, they end up being sued by the employees themselves and they have to face grave charges for failure to comply with the standard protocol.

It states that, If the cause of the termination is any of the just causes enumerated in Article 282 of the Labor Code such as:

  • Serious misconduct or willful disobedience by the employee of the lawful orders of his employer or representative in connection with his work;
  • Gross and habitual neglect by the employee of his duties.
  • Fraud or willful breach by the employee of the trust reposed in him by his employer or duly authorized representative
  • Commission of a crime or offense by the employee against the person of his employer or any immediate member of his family or his duly authorized representatives and other causes analogous to the foregoing.

It is then that the employer is required to observe the notice requirements. Termination of employment is a delicate issue. That’s why any employer who wants to dismiss an employee should see to it that the dismissal is in accordance with labor laws.
