Dismissals with just cause or without just cause

Instructions

1. Read the assigned cases, related to the issue of layoffs, in the required resources section of this module.
2. Then, evaluate the following situations and answer the questions that arise about them:
   • Situation I: Kenneth Feca filled out a job application at the company Todos Somos Felices. On one occasion, when filling out the statement, Kenneth lied to obtain an employment license. This action by Kenneth violates company regulations.
     • If Kenneth's action is an isolated offense, is it just cause for his dismissal?
   • Situation II: An employee of a car sales company has a heated discussion with the boss. I've never had any problems at work before.
     • If it is an isolated offense, is it just cause for the employee's dismissal?
   • Situation III: In the company Me las S Todos, owned by Tito Trampa, a rule has been adopted of not paying vacation or sick leave to employees. A group of company employees decides to go to the Labor Standards Bureau of the Department of Labor and Human Resources to file a complaint against the company. Given this fact, Tito Trampa decrees a total closure of the operations of the company I Know All and after a week the company Here I Go Again begins to operate. This company is located at another address, but it turns out to be a business of the same nature as the previous company. In Here I Go Again, Tito Trampa recruits the employees of I Know All that did not file a complaint with the Bureau of Standards of the Department of Labor and Human Resources.
     • Is the dismissal of employees who were not recruited to work at Here I Go Again considered justified?
3. For each situation you must:
   • offer your position on the situation or controversy from the point of view of a Human Resources manager responsible for making decisions;
   • evaluate the laws that apply;
   • evaluate each situation under the current jurisprudence; and
   • cite those cases that give an answer to the controversy that arises.
