Claim for Reinstatement to Work Kyiv
Cases of unlawful dismissal of an employee are by no means uncommon in our country. As case law shows, reinstatement at work can occur even with the slightest formal error in the documents made by the employer.
According to the Labor Code (Art. 40), an employer may, on his own initiative, dismiss an employee in the following cases:
- the subordinate’s unsuitability for the position held (due to insufficient qualifications or health reasons);
- during reorganization or liquidation of the enterprise;
- unauthorized absence from work;
- failure of the employee to perform his duties (if such actions are systematic);
- appearing in a state of intoxication;
- the employee’s being on sick leave for more than 4 months (a longer period may be allowed for certain illnesses);
- committing theft in the workplace;
- reinstatement of an employee who previously held this position.
Article 41 of the Labor Code specifies several additional grounds for dismissal (for example, gross violation of labor functions by a manager or his deputies, non-payment of wages by the employer in the required amount, etc.).
