Practice question · Multiple choice
A firm dismisses a worker for "low performance" but proves nothing at trial. The dismissal is also unrelated to any protected right. How will the court classify it?
Hints
- Unproven cause is not the same as discriminatory cause.
- Void is reserved for rights violations.
Show the answer
B. Unfair (improcedente): reinstate or pay compensation
Why
Cause alleged but unproven → unfair: the employer chooses reinstatement or compensation. Void needs discrimination or violation of fundamental rights, and forces the worker back on the payroll.
