Fagforeningen, der fyrede og hyrede
Det var usagligt, da en fagforenings lokalafdeling opsagde en kontorassistent på grund af medlemsnedgang. For omkring samtidig ansatte man en ny medarbejder.
Ny adresse – samme vilkår
En ændring af tjenestested for to ansatte i en region indebar ikke en væsentlig ændring af stillingen og kunne derfor gennemføres uden varsling med opsigelsesvarslet.
Tillidsrepræsentant bortvist fra A-kasse
Det var i orden, at en A-kasse bortviste en tillidsrepræsentant for at dele fortroligt materiale – men en forudgående opsigelse var ikke i orden. Det kostede 175.000 kr.
Lovforslag om bedre vilkår til forældre med indlagte nyfødte børn og forældre under sorgorlov
Regeringen har fremsat lovforslag om ændring af barselsloven, der bl.a. indeholder forlænget barsel til forældre med indlagte nyfødte børn og udvidet dagpengeret under sorgorlov.
Bortvisning og bonus
Retten til bonus efter funktionærloven bortfaldt ikke for en medarbejder, som havde påført arbejdsgiveren betydelige økonomiske tab og derfor var blevet bortvist.
For langt at køre?
Højesteret har taget stilling til, hvornår en geografisk ændring af arbejdssted som led i en større administrativ omorganisering går ud over, hvad medarbejdere er forpligtet til at tåle. Dommen belyser anvendelsen af standardiserede kriterier for mertransporttid ved geografisk flytning.
