Sending work-related information to personal email account: a fast track to the firing-line

Published on 30/09/2020

» The Supreme Court recently dealt with a case in which an employee was dismissed after forwarding confidential work-related information to his personal email account (Supreme Court Decision No. 7189/2562). The court decided that the employment termination was fair and lawful, where the employer is not required to inform the employee in advance for such dismissal. Additionally, the employee was not entitled to any compensation nor severance pay.
