A) Dismissal with prior notice

b) seriously damage the instruments and/or materials entrusted to them through negligence;
c) perform minor work, either personal or on behalf of third parties, on the premises of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, with materials and/or equipment belonging to the University, without authorization;

e) are unjustifiably absent for more than four consecutive days, or absent without justification three times in one year on the day following a holiday, Sunday, or vacation time.
f) are sentenced to imprisonment with a judgment passed on actions that are not related to carrying out work, but that impair the employee's moral standing.

B) Dismissal without prior notice

  1. This provision can befall employees that provoke serious moral or material damage to the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, or that commit actions that constitute crimes in terms of law, in connection with their work.

    a) act and/or behave in violation, and in any case, in a way opposed to the principals and values that found and characterize the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross;
    b) demonstrate insubordination in front of superiors;
    c) show serious negligence in the performance of their own duties;
    d) commit theft from, or in, the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross;
    e) intentionally damage material and/or equipment belonging to the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross;
    f) leave their workplace when it can result in harm to people or compromise the safety of the premises or perform other actions that imply the same harm;
