Dismissal-protection norms may be categorized into three types: mandatory power-conferring norms, conduct norms, and procedural norms. An unlawful dismissal lacks legal binding force, and the labor contract therefore remains valid and continuously in effect. An unlawful dismissal constitutes a continuing breach of contract. Refusal to perform constitutes the initial form of breach, while delayed performance and impossibility of performance constitute transformed forms of breach. The employer bears two-tier substitute contractual liability. Under the breach form of delayed performance, where the employee requests continued performance of the labor contract, the employer shall continue to perform both during the period for determination of unlawful dismissal and during the period of resumed performance, and shall pay normal wages accordingly. Where the employee does not request continued performance or fails to do so within the statutory time limit, the employer shall bear liability for damages, which substitutes for specific performance during both the period for determination of unlawful dismissal and the period of resumed performance. In such cases, compensation shall be calculated at twice the statutory economic compensation standard, based on the period from the commencement of employment to the occurrence of the unlawful dismissal. Under the breach form of impossibility of performance, the employer shall bear liability for specific performance during the period in which performance is determined to be impossible, including the payment of normal wages. The employer shall further bear liability for damages for the period of impossibility of performance, substituting for specific performance during that period. The amount of compensation shall be calculated at twice the statutory economic compensation standard, based on the period from the commencement of employment to the date on which adjudication or arbitration confirms that continued performance of the labor contract has become impossible. |
