In St. Petersburg, an installer was sued for 870,000 for unlawful dismissal. In St. Petersburg, an electrician at the Television Research Institute was reinstated and paid impressive compensation after he lost his job due to regular tardiness. The court sided with the expert, declared the employer's actions illegal and required him to pay the employee more than 870 thousand rubles. The conflict between the management and the workers, who have been working at the plant since 2019, flared up in early 2025. In just one month, the man received several disciplinary sanctions at once: reprimands for violating business ethics and a reprimand for not coming to work on time. Delays of 30-40 minutes later and refusal to write explanatory notes led to the termination of the employment contract due to repeated non-fulfillment of obligations. The appeals and trial courts examined the case and concluded that the authorities imposed a series of punishments in too short a period of time. The judges saw this as an artificial accumulation of reprimands and a deliberate attempt to get rid of an objectionable subordinate without giving him a real chance to improve. In addition, the company did not take into account the seriousness of the offenses and the installer's conscientious attitude to work in previous years. According to the labor law, dismissals for repeated disciplinary violations are allowed, but the courts monitor the proportionality of the punishment. If a series of reprimands have been issued in a short period of time, this is regularly considered an abuse of privilege, automatically entailing the employee's reinstatement and full payment for the time of forced absence.
