The supervening unfitness of the employee as grounds for objective dismissal.

Supervening unfitness is a valid ground for objective dismissal when an employee loses the ability to perform essential tasks of their position due to a condition that arises during the course of the employment relationship. For this unfitness to be considered a legitimate reason for dismissal, three conditions must be met: the incapacity must have arisen during the employment, it must affect fundamental job functions, and it must be permanent. Case law establishes that it does not qualify as supervening unfitness when poor performance is due to willful misconduct or when the incapacity is temporary due to illness or accident.
