Just causes refer to situations where the employee has committed acts that warrant termination due to misconduct or failure to meet obligations. These causes are well-delineated under Article 297 of the Labor Code.
Just cause termination refers to an employer's right to terminate an employee for a valid reason, such as serious misconduct or repeated violations of company policies, without providing severance or other compensation.
Proving Just Cause: Employer's Burden An employer must establish that the employee's misconduct was so severe that it fractured the employment relationship beyond repair. This burden of proof is not an easy one to meet. The employer must first provide clear evidence of the employee's misconduct.
Termination for cause occurs when a party's actions or inactions cause the contract to break down. This could be because they've failed or refused to perform their contractual obligations and breached the contract, for example.
Under California and federal employment law, proving a wrongful termination case is not easy. It requires thorough investigation and evidence to support the employee's claim. Note: The burden of proof is on the employee to prove that the termination was wrongful and that he or she suffered damages as a result.
