| Abstract [eng] |
New edition of the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter, the LC) has stipulated the reform of labour law and regulation of a number of labour relations. This LC has also developed and set some light on the regulation of termination of labour relations, in particular – termination by the employer of employment contract due to gross violation of labour duties (LC Article 136, Section 3, Subsection 2) whereas encroaching on the labour treatment by the employee (LC Article 235, Section 2, Subsections 8, 9 and 10). Therefore, analysis of three specific gross violations of labour duties provided herein is highly relevant in terms of legal practice, seeking to identify the provisions of appropriate application of LC Article 136, Section 3, Subsection 2 and Article 235, Section 2, Subsections 8, 9, and 10, and at the same time to provide employers and employees with more detailed information about the conception of these LC provisions, their implementation and proper application of the relevant legislation. Moreover, the relevance of this topic is supported by the fact that there are scarcely few researches or publications on this issue since the operation of the new LC. The sources of labour law contain only general characteristics of gross violations of labour duties, represented through the regulation of legislation. While so far there is no detailed or explicit analysis on the conditions of gross violations of labour duties. |
