The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the dismissal of a section chief who falsified a document to justify his absence and secure a sickness benefit. The employee argued the loss of the benefit was a minor administrative error, while the employer contended it constituted negligent misconduct warranting termination. The court ruled that such intentional deception, even if negligent in execution, fundamentally breached the duty of honesty required in the employment relationship.
