Violations, workplace sanctions and dismissals

At Ayuela Jiménez, we are experts in employment law, helping you comply with regulations and defend your company’s interests whenever you need us. Whether dealing with violations, workplace sanctions or dismissals, our legal team is here to advise you.

Legal advice on workplace violations

If your company has been accused of a workplace violation due to non-compliance with current regulations, it is crucial to act immediately to avoid major complications for your business or employees. The most common situations include non-payment of wages or repeated delays, excessive working hours, lack of safety measures, irregular contracts, and harassment, among others.

Our lawyers will support you through every stage of the process. We offer preventative legal advice to help avoid potential sanctions in the future, as well as legal representation if your business faces a dispute.

Workplace sanctions without legal risks

When applying disciplinary sanctions to employees for poor performance, we ensure that they are proportional and justified, as well as compliant with the appropriate legal procedures. These sanctions can range from minor penalties, such as verbal or written warnings, to serious penalties, such as suspension from work and salary deductions, or, in extreme cases, disciplinary dismissals. Whatever the case, we are here to protect your business.

Legal defence in dismissal cases

Every dismissal must comply with current legislation. With a legal team specialising in employment law, you will be able to determine whether the case involves an objective dismissal due to economic, technical, or organisational reasons, or another type of dismissal, such as unfair, lawful, or null dismissal.

Whether you need to take action due to serious misconduct by an employee, such as theft justifying dismissal without compensation, or if your company has been accused of discrimination based on pregnancy, illness, union affiliation, etc., we will carefully assess your case to achieve the best possible outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the consequences of workplace violations for a company?

Poorly managed workplace violations can lead to serious complications, ranging from financial penalties to the suspension of business activities. They can also result in employment disputes that may damage a company’s reputation.

Can a workplace sanction be challenged?

Yes, the affected employee can file an appeal with the company or submit a complaint to the labour inspection authorities to challenge the sanction. If necessary, the case can also be taken to court.

What is a null dismissal?

A null dismissal occurs when the termination is based on discriminatory grounds or violates the worker’s fundamental rights. In such cases, the company is legally required to reinstate the employee.

What happens if a company accumulates multiple violations?

Companies that do not seek proper legal advice and accumulate multiple workplace violations may face severe penalties, including fines or temporary closure.
