Displaying Employer's Name on Facebook and Breach of Employer's Reputation
Precedential Decision by Judiciary or Regulatory Agency
Author: Zoltán Csernus, Attorney-at-Law – VJT & Partners Law Firm
The Supreme Court ruled that if an employee displays the name of their employer on the employee’s social media profile, in a way that the employee can be linked directly with the employer, and the employee's posts and comments on social media can harm the employer's reputation, such conduct can serve as a lawful cause for the termination of employment.
