The article discusses the issue of applying in practice an inherently evaluative criterion for restoring a missed deadline for going to court as the presence of a good reason. Courts evaluate the factual circumstances cited by the employee differently, in some cases denying reinstatement, and therefore the right to judicial protection. The author comes to the conclusion that when considering the issue of timing, one should not be guided only by formal and objectively provable reasons, such as illness, business trip, etc. It is necessary to take into account the subjective psychological reasons that served as the reason for going to court outside the deadlines.
