AZ, a former employee of Vilnius-based cosmetics distributor Avon Cosmetics, has approached Delfi after writing an illegal dismissal request to the Labor Disputes Commission.
In his letter, he taught that on December 29, 2020, he returned to self-isolation work and was immediately invited to the manager’s office.
“There was also a shift manager in the room. The manager immediately reported what he was going to talk about, that is, about the violation of workplace safety: getting on the cardboard press, which took place on November 13, 2020 He said they fired him, he gave me the decision, he ordered me to sign it and at the same time the dismissal documents, “said the man.
The employee said he signed the documents due to feelings of pressure and urgency.
“After the meeting, controversial ideas emerged. First, the crime was not due to bad incentives, but
using common sense to improve productivity. The device was completely turned off, that is, not only the switch of the device was turned off, but also the device itself from the outlet. Emergency fuses also tripped. I want to emphasize that turning the machine off in this way would not turn on by itself, so the possibility of serious injury does not exist, in my opinion.
I would also like to point out that, more than a month ago, the person responsible for these issues was informed of the collapse of the press on my own initiative. Unfortunately, the problem remained unsolved. Therefore, due to the lack of gentle working conditions provided by the employer, the quality of the work deteriorated: the cardboard jammed more than ten times during the day, so at the risk of my well-being, I and the team members had to solve the problem independently, ”said AZ.
The man further noted that he had committed the occupational safety violation in question with two other employees, and only he was fired.
“I do not wish a colleague a layoff, but if the employer really cares about employee life and job safety, the employer’s decision to fire just me for the violation is surprising. Also, how we were in In perfect agreement with a colleague, he mentioned that the shift manager had told him to write an explanation that he would prefer him to handle the box press, although he was not.
Unfortunately, her hostility was not felt for the first month, because they talked about me in one way, but very differently from other managers and employees. Therefore, this situation raises even more suspicions, ”wrote a Delfi reader in a letter to the Commission on Labor Disputes.
AZ explained that it acknowledges the violation of workplace safety, but does not agree with its rudeness.
“If they warned me of this situation and gave me the opportunity, the next time the same situation happened at work, the solution that I had chosen would not be repeated, but instead, another solution would be sought,” he said.
The man stated that he is inclined to study and achieve high job results, as evidenced by the constant evaluations he receives.
“one. Employee rewards program: for continuous improvement, activity, participation,
responsibility and effort and contribution to business objectives.
2. Employee Rewards Program – Improvements and New Ideas – for original proposals and
solutions, activity, initiative and significant contribution to business objectives.
3. Employee rewards program: first and fourth quarters of 2019 and evaluation of 2019 in the category “job security”. For good, honest, sincere work, initiative and significant contribution to ensuring the safety of employees.
4. Internal motivation, reward system, when employees can thank a colleague for their help at work and
another writing the reason in the “Thank you” brochure, and the large number of them show not only the employer but also
the trust and appreciation of my colleagues “, listed AZ
The man said he probably would have continued with this “prize marathon” but was stopped due to the 2020 pandemic and quarantine.
“In the absence of objective reasons why I should be fired, there were suspicions that Avon Cosmetics wanted to fire me in a simpler and cheaper way without paying them severance,” he said.
Question 6 – received 2
AZ labor courts requested that his firing be declared illegal and reinstated, and if the employer disagreed, he would have to pay an average salary of 6 months.
The commission met on January 19 and, as confirmed by both parties to the conflict, the labor case was resolved by a peace agreement.
“The parties agreed to terminate the employment case through a peace agreement. Therefore, neither party has claims or claims arising from the employment relationship,” said Sergei Kovalev, representative of Avon Cosmetics.
AZ, for its part, said that his former employer had asked him to tell Delfi that he no longer intended to write a post.
“Yes, we agreed that neither party made claims, I don’t mean them, but let’s face it, the original actions did me a lot of moral damage personally and I had to fight for almost a month, insomnia, exhaustion just because of my own true, “he said.
The compromise found between the husband and the former employer is a dismissal with a compensation of 2 months on average.
“They did not want to settle peacefully until the last minute, they only offered a 1 month allowance, but at the beginning of the hearing, when the lawyer offered a ‘middle class’ from the labor commission, they accepted.” AZ said. “So I proved my truth. I pleaded guilty to foolishness, accepting the lawyer’s proposal.
He further said that this story could be a good lesson for others in a similar situation.
“We have to fight for our truth to the fullest, when employers today have more rights than the average employee,” AZ said.
According to Sodra, Avon Cosmetics had 87 employees on January 25, with an average paper salary of € 2,414.04 in December (about € 1,472 on hand).
According to the Register of Legal Entities, the sole shareholder of Avon Cosmetics is Avon Cosmetics Limited, registered in the UK.
