Employee sickness and absenteeism from work are inherent business risks which the employer has to take into account. An employee’s absence from work can be so frequent that it significantly affects the functioning of the workplace. In such situations, it may be in the employer’s interest to terminate such an employee’s employment contract and hire someone else to take their place. Labour Code provisions oblige employers to specify the reason justifying such a decision in the notice terminating indefinite-term contracts (Article 30 § 4 of the Labour Code). Does regular sickness absenteeism constitute an independent and sufficient reason for termination?
