tööotsingule

Tööotsingule refers to a concept in Estonian labor law that addresses the just cause and fairness in an employer's decision to end an employment contract. The term is often used in the context of employment protection policies, specifically in events where an employee is dismissed or terminated from their job.

Under Estonian law, an employer has the right to terminate an employment contract, but only if there is a legitimate reason for doing so. This reason must be based on objective criteria and must not be arbitrary or discriminatory. Tööotsingule requires that the employer provides the employee with notice of the termination and the reason for it. This is typically done in writing and must be provided to the employee a specified time before the termination date.

Tööotsingule is designed to protect the rights of employees by ensuring that employers use fair and transparent procedures when terminating contracts. It is also intended to prevent wrongful dismissals and provide a clear framework for employers to follow when terminating employees. Failure to comply with tööotsingule can result in litigation and potential financial penalties for the employer.

The specific requirements of tööotsingule can vary depending on the circumstances of the termination, including the length of employment, the reason for termination, and the type of job. In general, employers must demonstrate that the termination is based on valid business reasons and is fair to the employee.
