We have seen how, in response to employee demands and market conditions, employers have been forced to grant better employment conditions. However, the current economic situation of structural crisis may force management to try to reduce employment conditions or increase workloads, eventually leading to the elimination of large numbers of employees from their payrolls. Under these circumstances, the law considers that such dismissals could be justified if the rules on seniority are complied with. However, employers often dismiss some employees for reasons that have no basis in law, making the dismissal unjustified or illegal. Errors in these calculations can cause problems for both the employer and the employee.

 

On the other hand, protection against discrimination, sexual harassment, and working mothers carries with it the condemnation of actual damages and penalties for employers who discriminate against their employees for prohibited reasons. This can result in large compensation payments for discriminated employees and substantial economic losses for discriminating companies. These situations must be addressed promptly so that they do not lead to long and costly legal proceedings.
