Proroctví padající hvězdy
Ana by si měla užívat poslední léto před nástupem na vysokou. Místo toho trčí na předplaceném poznávacím zájezdu po středověkých hradech se svým ex přítelem. Horší už to snad být ani nemůže.
Jenže pak koupání v posvátných jeskyních naruší silné zemětřesení. Přestože se Aně podaří uniknout, namísto prosluněné letní krajiny ji venku čeká krutá zima. Ba co víc, v lesích kolem válčí rytíři s vikingy. Ocitla se ve 14. století, ale jak?
Její jedinou šancí na návrat domů je Leon, zraněný rytíř, který vůbec nechápe koncept bikin ani co je to telefon. Pokud ale chtějí přežít, budou muset překonat vzájemnou nedůvěru a spolupracovat. Po krku jim totiž jdou nejen krutí Seveřané, ale i obyčejní lidé, kteří Anu považují za čarodějnici. Ničemu nepomáhá ani to, že je Ana předmětem krvavého severského proroctví – a že svým skokem v čase získala schopnosti, o jakých se jí nikdy ani nesnilo...

Porušenie pracovnej disciplíny - Judikatúra
Skončenie pracovného pomeru zo strany zamestnávateľa z titulu porušenia pracovnej disciplíny predstavuje frekventovanú a zároveň mimoriadne citlivú oblasť pracovného práva. Je to dané najmä jej pomerne stručnou právnou úpravou v Zákonníku práce, keďže zákonodarca ponechal posúdenie závažnosti porušenia pracovnej disciplíny (menej závažného alebo závažného porušenia) na nezávislú a nestrannú rozhodovaciu činnosť súdov.
Cieľom tejto publikácie je systematické spracovanie významných súdnych rozhodnutí týkajúcich sa porušenia pracovnej disciplíny, ktoré môžu slúžiť ako praktický a orientačný nástroj pre odbornú verejnosť. Vzhľadom na prehľadnú štruktúru publikácie, systematické členenie judikátov a ich zrozumiteľné názvoslovie možno očakávať jej vysokú mieru praktickej využiteľnosti.
Publikácia je rozdelená do troch častí.
Prvú časť tvoria tzv. definičné judikáty, ktoré sa zaoberajú základnými pojmami, kritériami a hodnotiacimi hľadiskami uplatňovanými pri posudzovaní intenzity závažnosti porušenia pracovnej disciplíny.
Druhá časť publikácie je venovaná súdnym rozhodnutiam, v ktorých súdy posúdili konanie zamestnancov ako menej závažné porušenie pracovnej disciplíny.
Posledná časť spracúva judikatúru týkajúcu sa závažného porušenia pracovnej disciplíny, ktoré je svojou intenzitou porovnateľné s právoplatným odsúdením za úmyselný trestný čin.
Publikácia je určená advokátom, advokátskym koncipientom, podnikovým právnikom, odborníkom z oblasti ľudských zdrojov, ako aj všetkým, ktorí sa v praxi stretávajú s otázkami skončenia pracovného pomeru z dôvodu porušenia pracovnej disciplíny.
Publikácia obsahuje 71 súdných rozhodnutí Najvyššieho súdu SR, ČR, ČSFR, ČSR a Krajských súdov SR.
