Question juridique clé
Whether the dismissal was abusive because the employer inadequately investigated the harassment allegations before terminating the employee.
Solution extraite
The cantonal court could not base abusiveness solely on failure to follow the internal procedure. It first had to determine whether the employee had admitted the facts; if he denied them, it had to determine whether the trainee's accusations were true.
Motifs extraits
A dismissal is abusive only if the reasons or the manner of exercising the termination right are abusive. The internal directive did not prescribe mandatory procedural steps. The factual question whether the employee admitted or denied the allegations was unresolved, so the case had to be remanded.
