The judicial decisions and announcement of anti-social activities

Summary/Abstract: It would seem that our society is more susceptible and sensitive to corruption cases and tends to deal with them. Employees are often aware of many deficiencies, unfair practices, and anti-social activities and then are faced with the dilemma of whether to notify this malpractice, since such a move may result in loss of employment. Announcement of the unfair practices is still perceived by many as "denouncement or being a rat" and whistleblowers have difficulty to find a job again if they lose their employment (since Slovakia is a small country), so although there is adopted legislation protecting whistleblowers, there are not many people who report malpractice. At the same time, we can argue about whether the legislation on reporting anti-social activities will also be effectively used and not abused. Employees have been reporting unfair practices (although to a small extent) both before and also after the adoption of the Act No. 307/2014 Coll. on certain measures related to the announcement of anti-social activities and amending certain laws (effective from January 1, 2015), the aim of this paper is to highlight some judicial decisions, the subject of which was to determine the validity of the termination of employment, which was connected with the fact that an "uncomfortable employee" was released from work.
