Types of dismissal: disciplinary and objective

Before analyzing whether a dismissal may be null or wrongful, it is essential to identify the cause of dismissal and whether the company met the legal requirements.

Disciplinary dismissal.

Based on very serious and culpable fault. Must be communicated in writing, describe facts and allow defense. Formal defects or absence of evidence → wrongfulness.

Objective dismissal

For economic, technical, organizational or production reasons. Requires 15-day notice and compensation of 20 days/year (max. 12 months). Formal errors or lack of cause → wrongfulness.

Analyze the Grounds for Your Termination with Me

Differences between Null and Wrongful Dismissal

Null Dismissal

Declared when the company violates fundamental rights (e.g., pregnancy/maternity, reduced working hours, discrimination, retaliation, etc.).
👉 Mandatory reinstatement + back pay.

Wrongful Dismissal

Declared when there is no valid cause or formal requirements are not met.
👉 The company chooses between reinstating you or paying you compensation (as a general rule, 33 days/year; 45 days/year for seniority prior to 2012).

My services for dismissals in Asturias

My primary focus is on defending workers against all types of dismissals. I offer legal counsel and expert representation in cases of:

Disciplinary dismissal

If the company alleges serious misconduct by the employee. I will analyze whether the cause is justified and whether the formal requirements have been met to defend your rights.

Wrongful dismissal

I will fight for your dismissal to be declared wrongful if the company cannot justify the cause or has not followed the legally established procedure, seeking maximum compensation or reinstatement of the employee.

Objective dismissal

When the company argues objective causes (economic, technical, organizational or production reasons). I will review whether these causes are real, whether they are properly substantiated and whether the dismissal letter complies with the law.

Null and void dismissal

If your dismissal violates fundamental rights (pregnancy, reduced working hours for childcare, claiming rights, discrimination, etc.), I will seek nullification of the dismissal, which implies your mandatory reinstatement and payment of lost wages.

Collective Dismissals (ERE)

I handle reviewing the legality of the penalty and the procedure, prepare appeals and challenge it if it does not comply with the law.
The objective is to achieve the annulment or reduction of the penalty and protection of your internal record.

What is the deadline to challenge a dismissal?

⚠️ You have 20 business days from the notification date to challenge your dismissal. This is a statute of limitations: if you let it pass, you lose the right to claim.

Acting today could be the difference between losing your rights or recovering your job and compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Termination

Wrongful termination involves violation of fundamental rights and results in mandatory reinstatement and processing wages. Improper termination occurs due to lack of cause or formal defects: the company chooses reinstatement or compensation.

Disciplinary termination is based on serious misconduct. Objective termination responds to economic, technical, or organizational causes. It's crucial to review the termination letter and requirements: if they fail, it may be declared wrongful.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Solo 20 días hábiles desde el despido para presentar conciliación ante el SMAC y, en su caso, demanda. No dejes pasar el plazo.

Can I file a claim if I already signed the settlement agreement?

It depends. Firmar no siempre implica conformidad, especialmente si firmaste “no conforme”. Reviso tu documentación y te explico si aún puedes impugnar.

What can I obtain if the termination is improper?

The company must choose between reinstating you or paying compensation (generally, 33 days per year of service; 45 days per year for seniority prior to 2012).
