Incorrect application of this legal institute, as well as its abuse in cases where this form of engagement is used for jobs of a permanent and continuous nature, may have significant legal consequences for employers. The Labor Law regulates the contract on performing temporary and periodical jobs as one of the ways of engaging labor, whereby no employment relationship is established. Therefore, the engaged person does not have the...

Reinstatement of an Employee Pending the Outcome of an Employment Termination Dispute

An employee whose employment agreement has been terminated by the employer may initiate court proceedings before the competent court challenging the decision on termination of employment. Despite the fact that the provisions of the Law on Civil Procedure (“LCP”) prescribe that, in employment disputes, the court shall pay particular attention to the need for urgent resolution of such disputes, in practice these proceedings often last several years.
