PRAGNUM has successfully represented the client's interests regarding the legality and reasonableness of the employee dismissal procedure

In the conditions of martial law, many representatives of Ukrainian business faced new difficulties and trials, which were the result of unpopular decisions. Our client, who is one of the largest distributors of agricultural machinery in the world, found himself in a difficult situation. Thus, in connection with a significant decrease in the demand for the purchase of goods, the client underwent significant changes in the organization of production and work, which was the result of a reduction in the number and staff of employees. During the reduction procedure, the client faithfully complied with the requirements of labor legislation. However, one of the employees disagreed with the client's decision and filed a lawsuit for reinstatement and recovery of average earnings.

Thanks to a well-designed defense strategy and prompt collection of evidence, PRAGNUM lawyers were able to prove the presence of changes in the organization of the client's production and work, its compliance with the procedure for notification of the planned dismissal of the employee, as well as convince the court that the dismissed employee had the lowest labor productivity index among other employees on similar position.

The final point in this dispute was put by the Supreme Court, which came to the conclusion on full compliance with the procedure for firing the employee and the absence of any violations of labor legislation by the client.
