Abstract

Disciplinary dismissal is the most severe form of labour disciplinary action, resulting in the termination of the employment relationship between an employee and an employer. Based on an analysis of the provisions of the 2019 Labour Code and its implementing regulations, this article clarifies several theoretical issues concerning disciplinary dismissal and examines the practical implementation of the relevant legal framework in Hanoi. The analysis draws on labour judgments and the application of disciplinary dismissal rules in enterprises to identify existing shortcomings and practical challenges. On this basis, the article proposes several recommendations to improve the legal framework and enhance the effectiveness of the implementation of regulations governing disciplinary dismissal.
