Employee’s Rights – Promotion – Salary – Transfer
This case involved a request by some employees for a promotion. As the jobs were at the same salary but with a different title this should have been deemed a transfer not a promotion case.
Background
Two employees filed a case against a bank before the court requesting promotion. The employees said that the bank had prevented them from being promoted.
The court ruled that the bank should promote the employees.
The bank appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
Decision
The bank appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and that the promotion meant that the employee should move to a higher financial position and receive a higher wage, however, the employees requested the appointment to the same position with a different title and so their case should be deemed as transfer case.
