Employee – Promotion – Public Sector – Company
This case involved an employee who challenged that he had not been promoted because he had been sent to work abroad. Public sector economic units had discretion to set their own promotion criteria.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company and requested the court to order the company to calculate his seniority in a particular grade starting from 01/09/1982. The employee stated the company had made a promotion decision to that grade on 01/09/1979 and ignored his argument that he had been sent abroad while his colleagues were promoted.
The court rejected the case.
The employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court abandoned the appealed ruling and ruled the employee had the right to be included in the promotion decision from 01/09/1979 and ordered the company to pay him 60 Egyptian Pounds for the period from 01/08/1981 to 31/01/1982.
