Employee Dismissal for Refusal to Work Overtime

Employee Dismissal for Refusal to Work Overtime: A former employee sought judicial review after being dismissed for refusing to comply with an order to work on a Saturday, an action the employer claimed was necessary for business continuity and justified under the employment contract, while the employee contended it violated established customary working hours without proper justification; the appellate court upheld the dismissal, reasoning that the employee's refusal constituted a clear insubordination and a serious breach of the duty of obedience, especially since the company had demonstrated a legitimate business need for the requested overtime, making the dismissal proportional to the fault committed.
