Erottelupäätös

Erottelupäätös refers to a decision made in a legal or administrative context, typically concerning the termination of employment or a contractual relationship. In Finnish law, this term most commonly applies to the dismissal of an employee by an employer. An erottelupäätös must be based on legally defined grounds, such as a material breach of contract by the employee or significant economic reasons of the employer.

The process leading to an erottelupäätös usually involves prior warnings or attempts to resolve the issue, unless the offense is so severe that immediate dismissal is warranted. The employer is obligated to provide the employee with a written notification of the decision, outlining the reasons for dismissal and the effective date. Employees have the right to contest an erottelupäätös they deem unlawful or unfair through legal channels, such as filing a lawsuit in a district court. The burden of proof for the validity of the dismissal typically rests with the employer.

Beyond employment, the term erottelupäätös can occasionally be used in other contexts, such as the dissolution of a partnership or the expulsion of a member from an organization, though its primary association remains with employment termination. The specific regulations and procedures governing an erottelupäätös vary depending on the nature of the relationship and the applicable laws and agreements.
