The legal way of warning an employee for bad conduct

Good morning,

I have tried searching online for any warning regarding leaving work during office hours without informing the proper department. Also, not coming to work without informing the manager.

The thing is this employee has been doing it several times and even after verbal warnings she doesn't listen.

We've already served her a final warning due to her attitude toward workmates and even her working hours are being compromised.

Is there a way we can serve her termination legally?

Thank you!

I hope I explained it clearly.

Dear Questioner,

If an employee is not improving after repeated warnings (at least 3 written warnings), then you have a right to terminate him/her.

Kindly contact us on the phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.

Dear Questioner,

As per Article (120) of the Labour Law, you may dismiss an employee without notice if they do the following actions (selected from the list of actions to suit the question needs):

"5) If he fails to perform his basic duties under the contract of employment and persists in violating them despite formal investigation with him in this respect and warning him of dismissal if the same is repeated.

9) If in the course of his work he commits an assault on the employer, the manager or any of his colleagues."

Good luck.
