Abstract
The focus of this essay is to describe and analyze case-law regarding termination of employment due to insufficiency in job performance. In order to present a comprehensive description of the present legal position, an overview of the Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS) will be given. The term ‘saklig grund’ (objective ground) can be viewed as a linchpin of the right to terminate an employment. Therefore, the meaning and use of the term will be explained in order to provide the reader with an important basic understanding of termination due to personal reasons.
In the essay, the term ‘insufficient job performance’ will be described and exemplified. This will be done using legal doctrine, case-law and preparatory works. A distinction... (More)
The focus of this essay is to describe and analyze case-law regarding termination of employment due to insufficiency in job performance.

Therefore, the meaning and use of the term will be explained in order to provide the reader with an important basic understanding of termination due to personal reasons.
In the essay, the term ‘insufficient job performance’ will be described and exemplified. This will be done using legal doctrine, case-law and preparatory works. A distinction is made between the employer’s and the employee's responsibilities regarding an insufficient job performance. A description will also be made regarding circumstances applicable to the employment itself. The mapping of the case-law is followed by a summary and a comparison to a proposal of a new employment protection act that was published in the early nineties.
The analyzing chapter summarizes and comments on the information that have been collected on the subject. It appears that case-law in this matter presents a slightly employer hostile image. The employer is forced to carry out a very broad repertoire of interventions before an employee that is performing insufficiently can be terminated from employment. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Uppsatsens fokus är att beskriva och analysera rättspraxis gällande uppsägning på grund av bristande arbetsprestation. För att ge en god bild av rättsläget ges en översikt av lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS). Vidare ges en bakgrund och förklaring av begreppet ‘saklig grund’ som kan ses som en grundbult i uppsägningsrätten. Här redogörs för de rekvisit för saklig grund som arbetats fram i praxis.
I uppsatsen beskrivs och exemplifieras innebörden av begreppet ‘bristande arbetsprestation’ både utifrån doktrin, praxis och förarbeten. En distinktion görs mellan arbetsgivarens respektive arbetstagarens ansvar för den bristande arbetsprestationen. En beskrivning görs även av sådana omständigheter som till stor del kan hänföras till tjänsten i... (More)
Uppsatsens fokus är att beskriva och analysera rättspraxis gällande uppsägning på grund av bristande arbetsprestation. För att ge en god bild av rättsläget ges en översikt av lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS).

I uppsatsen beskrivs och exemplifieras innebörden av begreppet ‘bristande arbetsprestation’ både utifrån doktrin, praxis och förarbeten. En distinktion görs mellan arbetsgivarens respektive arbetstagarens ansvar för den bristande arbetsprestationen. En beskrivning görs även av sådana omständigheter som till stor del kan hänföras till tjänsten i sig. Den kartläggning av praxis som gjorts följs av en sammanfattning och en jämförelse med ett förslag till en ny anställningsskyddslag som kom under tidigt 90-tal.
Uppsatsen analyskapitel sammanfattar och kommenterar den information som samlats om ämnet. Här framträder en bild av en något arbetsgivarfientlig praxis som tvingar arbetsgivaren att ta till mycket långtgående åtgärder innan en arbetstagare med bristande arbetsprestation kan sägas upp. (Less)
