Labor law ruling: immediate termination for prior crimes does not require prior criminal proceedings.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by former employees seeking reinstatement. The court found that the employer's immediate termination for prior crimes was lawful because the employer discovered the misconduct while managing a subsequent employment contract. The decision clarified that procedural delays in criminal prosecution do not invalidate the employer's right to terminate for obvious crimes discovered during a new employment relationship.
