Question
What are the grounds for lawful termination under the Labor Code?
Answer
Termination must fall under either "just causes" (employee conduct issues like serious misconduct, gross neglect, or breach of trust) or "authorized causes" (business-related reasons like redundancy, financial losses, or closure). Employers must also follow due process, including written notice and an opportunity to respond, regardless of the ground cited.
