At the same time, citizens are guaranteed protection against illegal dismissal. That is, dismissal is possible only on the grounds provided for by law.

If there are valid reasons, dismissal is possible within the period requested by the employee;

FROM PRACTICE
Some employers use bypass letters that must be filled out when employees are fired. As a rule, on the eve or on the last day of work, the employee must go through all the "stages" of signing the bypass letter. The form of the bypass letter and the circle of employees (structural subdivisions) to which the employee must appear are determined by the employer and depend on the job duties performed by the employee. The bypass letter may contain, for example, information that the employee handed over the keys, access card, tools, etc.Read the article in full
