The exercise of the company's disciplinary power with respect to people with an employment relationship within the scope of Law 2/2023 on the protection of whistleblowers

Abstract

The disciplinary power of companies in the field of employment relationships can be exercised within the scope of Law 2/2023, of February 20, regulating the protection of persons who report regulatory breaches and the fight against fraud, primarily in relation to four types of employees: the reporting person, the affected person, the person responsible for the company’s internal information system, and other subjects responsible for breaches of that law other than the aforementioned. The analysis of how the integration, not always easy, between the principles, rights, and obligations of these four subjects within the scope of Law 2/2023 linked to the employer with a labour contract with the latter’s disciplinary power is what constitutes the essential object of this article.
