La impugnación del visto bueno y sus efectos en la legislación laboral ecuatoriana

Abstract

Abstract: The selected topic mainly covers the challenge of the Approval for dismissal and the due process to be conducted in order to terminate an employment relationship. It considers the probable legal effects that may occur by the aforementioned resolution, including a wrongful dismissal which affects the worker; in that case the employee can reach a Labor Judge to state the disagreement with the decision to terminate the employer-employee relationship. Another important aspect to consider when terminating an employment relationship is the fulfillment of certain causes which may be required and applied by any of the involved parties. These causes are duly defined in the articles 172 and 173 of the Ecuadorian Labor Code. Within the legally established procedures to apply the Approval, it is pursued to protect and guarantee mainly the rights of the worker, but also those of the employer.
