Subject
The points address three practical issues in employment relations: the evidential value of an employer’s written and personal proofs that an employee breached contractual obligations and the effect on the legality of termination; the classification of claims related to employer-run savings, provident or pension funds as fee-exempt labor claims under Article 33(A) of the Labor Law; and the consequence of an employer exempting an employee from work during the notice period regarding the obligation to pay notice pay.
Summary
- Employer-submitted written and personal evidence demonstrating an employee’s contractual breach supports the employer’s position on the lawfulness of the termination and may lead to dismissal compensation claims being dismissed. - Claims concerning employer-managed savings, provident or pension funds are treated as labor claims exempt from the court fee pursuant to Article 33(A) of the Labor Law. - When an employer exempts an employee from work during the notice period, the employer remains obligated to pay the employee the notice allowance.
