En este artículo nos interesa WARN una situación particular, que puede enfrentar un trabajador, DISMISSAL WITH CAUSE.
Con cierta normalidad los empleadores no expresan causas a fin de despedir a un empleado o, simplemente refieren a la reestructuración de la empresa, debiendo entonces abonar la indemnización por el despido dispuesto.
Por otro lado y, este es el punto clave, puede que el empleador invoque una CAUSAL a fin de justificar el despido y de este modo, quedar eximido del pago de las sumas dinerarias en concepto de indemnización.
La causa del despido se corresponde con la inobservancia de las obligaciones que se encuentran a cargo de cada parte durante la vigencia de la relación labor, la cual debe ser una falta GRAVE que se deriva en JUST CAUSE de despido.
However. La causal ESGRIMIDA por el empleador, deberá ser Notified in writing, la misma deberá cumplir los requisitos que la Ley de Contrato de Trabajo establece en sus artículos 242 Y 243 respectivamente, sencillamente, debe BE A CLEAR EXPRESSION OF REASONS que permiten romper el contrato de trabajo.
Si esos requisitos no son adecuadamente satisfechos, THE DISMISSAL no podrá ser considerado por JUST CAUSE, y será considerado INCAUSADO, teniendo pleno derecho el trabajador de perseguir ante un Juez el pago de las INDEMNIZACIONES derivadas de la ruptura del contrato, es decir del despido.
THE DISMISSAL, entonces, es la mayor sanción que dispone el empleador y la Ley de Contrato de Trabajo, a fin proteger los trabajadores de medidas arbitrarias, impone al empleador la obligación de indicar en la comunicación THE CAUSE OF DISMISSAL, la cual deberá luego ser merituada por un JUEZ.
OJO, es común, en la práctica laboral observar manifestaciones tales como: “THE FACTS YOU HAVE COMMITTED”,”YOUR ATTITUDE HOMEWORK”, “LACK OF RESPECT”, ETC, ETC, and ETC, que no cumplen los requisitos indicados.
Estos términos utilizados a título de ejemplo, aun cuando en ciertas ocasiones son manifestaciones completamente FALSAS, resultan inútiles a la luz de las protecciones que establece la Ley de Contrato de Trabajo en los artículos mencionados y, deberá el trabajador iniciar un reclamo ante la Justicia, a fin de rechazar el despido, quedando a cargo del empleador probar las causas invocadas para romper el contrato, y por el contrario, para el caso que no lo hiciere, el empleador se vera obligado a abonar las indemnizaciones por el despido.
Si fuiste despedido de este modo y te encontras dentro de los dos años de plazo, got right to maneuver check dismissal.

Una de las situaciones que mas consultas laborales genera se da cuando un trabajador llega a su puesto de trabajo y le informan verbalmente que esta despedido o simplemente le es impedido el ingreso al establecimiento por el personal de seguridad.
Tal circunstancia genera una gran incertidumbre en el trabajador; ¿Son válidas las manifestaciones verbales? ¿Debo esperar el telegrama o enviar uno yo?
NO RENUNCIES! Es muy usual que en estos casos se le pida al trabajador que renuncie bajo ciertas promesas, como compromisos de pago, de reincorporación etc.
Preliminarmente y fundamental, lo primero que debe hacer es CONSULTAR CON UN ABOGADO LABORALISTA, NUNCA DEBES RENUNCIAR A TU TRABAJO NI REALIZAR NINGUNA ACCIÓN SIN ANTES ASESORARTE .
Sin perjuicio de ello, podemos señalar que el despido, para surtir efecto alguno debe ser notificado de forma fehaciente, whereby, salvo excepciones, usted debe considerar que la relación laboral se encuentra vigente hasta tanto no reciba el telegrama o carta documento de despido.
Entonces, lo primero que debe hacer es consultar con un abogado laboralista, quien seguramente procederá a intimar fehacientemente (a través de un telegrama laboral gratuito) a su empleador a que aclare su situación laboral, quedando usted de tal manera, cubierto ante cualquier intento de la empresa de considerarlo maliciosamente incurso en el abandono de trabajo.
IMPORTANTE. En dicha situación su abogado analizará si su relación laboral se encuentra correctamente registrada (fecha de ingreso, categoría, jornada laboral, horas extras, etc), procediendo a exigir en el mismo telegrama la corrección de las irregularidades que detecte, así como el pago de las sumas que se devenguen de las mismas y de las diferencias salariales correspondientes.
Dichas irregularidades dan lugar a multas monetarias en su favor, las cuales sólo podrán ser exigidas si usted envía su telegrama antes de que le llegue el de la empresa despidiéndolo.
Por ello, remarcamos, ES CRUCIAL QUE USTED ACUDA A SU ABOGADO LABORALISTA DE CONFIANZA INMEDIATAMENTE, o apenas le sea posible luego de sucedida la negativa de tareas.

 

SI tu empleador real te contrata de forma TERCERIZADA a través de una agencia de trabajo, podés exigir la regularización de dicha situación.
SI tu empleador te contrata EN NEGRO podés exigir tu regularización así como el pago de las diferencias salariales con respecto a la remuneración de convenio.
SI tu empleador te registra con una FECHA DE INGRESO errónea, ello afecta distintos rubros salariales como la antigüedad, cuya corrección podés exigir!.
SI tu empleador te abona parte de tu SALARIO EN NEGRO, ello disminuye tu salario básico del cual se desprenden el resto de los rubros salariales, cuya corrección podés exigir!.

 

According to the Labor Contract Law, the first 3 months of any employment relationship are TESTING, which means that your employer can terminate the contract without indemnification obligations.
HOWEVER. some employers, maliciously, They fire their dependents as if they were on probation but not taxed.
ATTENTION!
Know that if your employer has you completely or partially in black, the law deemed to have waived the trial period, whereby, if saying goodbye, must request payment the total compensation, regardless of the length of time you worked! “if goodbye before 90 days”
EXAMPLE! This usually happens in companies (como call centers) they have in their black entrants in the training period, registering the worker at a later date, false course.
You know that an employer can not hire 2 Sometimes the same worker on probation? If it does, in the second employment contract there will be no trial period.
Know that although you are in trial period (so is your second day of work), you have the same rights as an effective worker?
EXAMPLE, you have a right to social work, to make you retirement contributions, if you get sick you have the right to medical leave, if you related accidents at work report it to the ART hired by your employer and others, es decir, the trial period does not restrict in any way your rights as a worker registered.

Si sufriste un ACCIDENTE LABORAL, tenes estos derechos:

Primero y principal, derecho a que se te asista en un centro médico habilitado, para lo cual debes comunicarte con tu empleador URGENTE.
Recibir de la ART en forma inmediata, la asistencia médica, farmacológica, prótesis, ortopedia y rehabilitación, hasta la curación completa o mientras duren los síntomas.
Tenés derecho a ser trasladado a los centros asistenciales mientras dure el tratamiento, por lo general contratan agencias de remis, siempre que el médico tratante así lo indique por escrito en la historia clínica.
Recibir de su ART el pago del salario, mientras continue la imposibilidad de trabajar (prestaciones dinerarias por Incapacidad Laboral Temporaria (ILT)- por el tiempo que corresponda hasta que se otorgue el alta médica o por un período máximo de seis meses o un año dependiendo de las características particulares de la existencia de cargas familiares y antiguedad en el empleo.
Se podrá establecer un nuevo período de transitoriedad, es decir percibir el salario durante la imposibilidad de asistir al empleo, hasta un plazo máximo de 12 meses; ello en aquellos casos en que no se pueda determinar con certeza la incapacidad resultante de las lesiones ocurridas por el accidente.
Determinada la INCAPACIDAD resultante del accidente, deberá la ART abonar al trabajador una indemnización.
OJO, suelen abonar muy por debajo de lo que realmente corresponde. CONSULTANOS AUN SI YA COBRASTE.
Recibir de tu ART la recalificación necesaria para otra tarea en caso de no poder continuar con la que realizabas.
Si tu empleador no tiene ART, debe responder directamente, otorgándote las prestaciones médicas y dinerarias correspondientes como también pagar la indemnización por las incapacidades.
OJO. Si te encontrás trabajando EN NEGRO y el tiene contratada una ART, debe responder por el accidente la ART.
