Limitations to termination authorisations according to law. On termination of employment, account must be taken of the provisions of law that limit employers’ general rights to terminate employment. These include, among others, provisions relating to shop stewards and safety stewards, pregnant women and parents on parental leave, employees who have given notice of maternity/paternity and parental leave and employees with family responsibilities. Moreover, the provisions of Article 4 of Act No. 80/1938 on Trade Unions and Labour Disputes, legislation on the equal status and equal rights of men and women, legislation on part-time workers, legislation on the legal status of workers on transfer of ownership of companies and consultation obligations in laws on collective redundancies must be upheld. When an employee enjoys protection against termination according to law, the employer is under obligation to justify in writing the reasons for the termination of employment.
