Spanish labor law court rulings

Overview

Spanish courts have recently upheld disciplinary dismissals involving workplace conduct and scheduling violations.

In Alicante, the Social Court No. 3 validated the termination of a logistics employee who habitually arrived 30 to 45 minutes before her scheduled start time. The court determined that this behavior constituted a serious fault that breached the relationship of trust and loyalty with the employer.

In a separate ruling, the High Court of Justice of Navarre confirmed the dismissal of an employee with nine years of seniority who extended a summer vacation by 17 days to travel to Ecuador without written authorization. The court rejected the employee’s claim of receiving verbal permission from a supervisor, upholding the company’s decision to terminate the employment.
