Objective dismissal is the type of dismissal which occurs when the employer terminates the employment contract for economic, technical, organisational, or production reasons. It is a lawful dismissal under Spanish law, provided that the employer follows specific procedures and criteria for justification and documentation. The employer must give the employee written notice of the dismissal and a severance payment of twenty days per year of service, up to a maximum of twelve months' salary.

This type of dismissal is legal in the event that the employee has comitted a severe breach of the employment contract, such as theft, harassment, or serious negligence. However, the employer must provide evidence to prove the employee's misconduct before dismissing them. If the employer fails to justify the dismissal, the employee may be entitled to reinstatement and compensation for damages.
