This case involved amounts due to an employee on their retirement. It had been wrongly argued that the employee did not deserve an allowance because he was not working at the relevant grade when he had worked temporarily at that grade and under the company regulations was entitled to this money. The company was also required to pay them holiday pay for holidays which had been worked.
Background
An employee made a complaint against a company before the Ministry of Labour claiming that he was working in the company for 25 years and that he retired without being paid his entitlements. The Ministry referred the case to the court.
The court ruled that the company should pay the employee 5374.669 Dinars and the value of travel tickets.
The employee and the company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
Decision
The employee and the company appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.
