Abstract

The present study investigates a negative change that often occurs during the time of employment - the temporary suspension of the work process - and marks its legal features as a legal fact of Labour law, giving basis of the respective theoretic concept. Then we show the employer's possibilities under the Bulgarian Labour law, a reaction against its occurrence, and the legal guarantees protecting the employee from employer's illegal actions. The different means to overcome this situation have distinct legal consequences for the employment relationship, including its termination, which decides the relevance and social significance of the study.
