ELI5— what this means for you
Security of tenure: once you're a regular employee, you can only be fired for just cause (your fault) or authorized cause (business reasons) — AND only with proper due process (two written notices). Missing either the cause OR the due process = illegal dismissal.
Key point
Regular employee = can only be fired for valid cause + proper due process. Both required.
