Dismissal and Disciplinary Action
"The teamwork is good. It seems that the team talks a lot and exchanges opinions, which means a lot to clients."
- The Legal 500 Asia Pacific
Overview
The exercise of the right to dismiss and take disciplinary action in practice is a crucial aspect of personnel management, with procedures that are often complex and frequently lead to disputes.
BKL’s Labor and Employment Group (the “Group”) has accumulated extensive experience in advising on various issues related to dismissals and disciplinary actions, thereby successfully preventing and resolving disputes. In particular, the Group collaborates closely with its corporate clients from the pre-disciplinary action stage, working together to find reasonable solutions to labor and employment issues. Leveraging this experience and expertise, the Group offers tailored legal services that meet clients’ needs throughout all stages, from reviewing the grounds for disciplinary action to its implementation and subsequent legal disputes.
Moreover, the Group provides practical advice on a wide range of legal issues that arise from workforce restructuring. This includes not only dismissal and disciplinary action due to misconduct but also the termination of employment through mutual agreements such as voluntary retirement and recommended resignations, dismissals for managerial reasons, and the management of underperformers—a topic of growing concern. The Group also assists clients in the amicable resolution of related legal disputes.
