Margarita Egiazarova Publishes Article in “Labour Disputes” Magazine

Margarita Egiazarova, PhD in Law and Partner of ALRUD’s Labour and Employment Practice, has authored an article for the professional magazine Labour Disputes, titled “Dismissal Disputes: Court Trends and New Employer Obligations”.

In her article, Margarita explores:

• the evolving duties imposed on employers by courts;

• how personal conflicts between employees and managers affect the legitimacy of dismissals;

• key factors employers should consider when terminating employees for cause;

• the latest court trends and critical nuances in dismissal-related cases.

Margarita highlights that courts now assess the broader context of dismissals, taking into account workplace tension and questionable disciplinary practices. Employers are facing increased procedural obligations, with courts demanding well-documented justifications for terminations and their consequences. At the same time, employees are gaining more freedom to challenge dismissals, as the legal balance continues to shift toward the protection of employee rights.

Courts are increasingly going beyond the formal letter of the law, examining the employer’s true motivations, good faith, and the real-life impact of dismissal on the employee. Margarita notes

The article also includes a detailed set of practical recommendations to help employers mitigate litigation risks related to dismissals.
