Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the employee's dismissal had to be annulled because she was not heard before termination.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Informal prior contacts and an earlier warning did not make clear that dismissal was being contemplated, so the minimum guarantees of the right to be heard were not respected.
Extrahierte Begründung
The earlier interview mainly assessed performance, and the warning merely asked for improvement. Nothing showed that termination was envisaged or that the employee had been given a real opportunity to comment before the dismissal letter was handed over.
