If the employee provided false information about their skills or experience when hired, the employer can terminate the contract within the first 30 days.
Example:<\/strong>\u00a0An employee submits a fake certificate of prior experience, and this is discovered in the first month.<\/li>\n
If the employee consistently fails to perform their duties properly, the employer may terminate their contract.
Example:<\/strong>\u00a0An employee repeatedly makes significant errors, disrupting company operations.<\/li>\n
This applies to employees in roles of leadership, oversight, or those handling sensitive information. Loss of trust must be well-documented.
Example:<\/strong>\u00a0A manager acts in ways that compromise their reliability or integrity.<\/li>\n
If an employee shares confidential information that harms the company, the employer has grounds for termination.<\/li>\n
Any immoral behavior that affects the workplace or the employee\u2019s performance can justify termination.
Example:<\/strong>\u00a0An employee behaves inappropriately outside of work, damaging the company\u2019s reputation or their ability to perform.<\/li>\n
If an employee insults or acts disrespectfully without provocation, the employer may take action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Any behavior that significantly disrupts the normal workflow can lead to dismissal.
Example:<\/strong>\u00a0Starting a physical altercation or causing a major disturbance at work.<\/li>\n
Missing two consecutive days or three non-consecutive days in a calendar month without valid justification can lead to termination.<\/li>\n
Consuming alcohol or drugs during work hours or arriving intoxicated is immediate grounds for dismissal.<\/li>\n
Repeatedly ignoring workplace safety protocols is a valid reason for termination.
Example:<\/strong>\u00a0An employee refuses to use mandatory safety equipment despite multiple warnings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
