Employer dismissed employee for unauthorized absence; court upheld dismissal due to lack of prior warning.

The Cour du travail de Bruxelles upheld the employer's dismissal of an employee for unauthorized absence without prior warning. The employee argued that the employer failed to follow due process by not issuing a formal warning before termination. The court ruled that the employer's immediate dismissal was justified given the employee's repeated pattern of unexcused absences and the severity of the breach.
