WHAT IS THE PENALTY IF I LEAVE EARLY FROM WORK?

According to the Labor Code, violations of labor discipline are:

• being late for work
• LEAVING WORK EARLY, not showing up for work or not compacting working hours;
• the employee's or employee's appearance at work in a condition that does not allow him to perform his assigned tasks;
• non-fulfillment of assigned work, non-compliance with technical and technological rules;
• producing low-quality products;
• non-compliance with the rules for health and safety at work;
• failure to comply with the legal orders of the employer;
• abuse of trust and damage to the good name of the enterprise, as well as dissemination of confidential information about it;
• damage to the employer's property and waste of materials, raw materials, energy and other means;
• non-fulfilment of other labor obligations provided for in laws and other normative acts, in the rules for the internal labor order, in the collective labor agreement or determined at the origin of the employment relationship.

Disciplinary sanctions are reprimand, warning for dismissal and dismissal. When determining the disciplinary penalty, the employer should take into account the severity of the violation, the circumstances in which it was committed, as well as the behavior of the worker or employee. Before imposing the disciplinary penalty, the employer is obliged to listen to the worker or employee or to accept his written explanations and to collect and evaluate the said evidence.

When the employer has not previously heard the worker or employee or has not accepted his written explanations, the court cancels the disciplinary penalty without considering the dispute on its merits.

Disciplinary punishment is considered imposed from the day the order is delivered to the worker or employee or from the day it is received, when it is sent by registered letter with return receipt.
