Background

An employee made a complaint against an employer and requested the Labour Department to order the employer to pay her dues. The court referred the case to the court.

The court rejected the case.

The employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The employee appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in her grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law because she had requested the court to order the employer to pay her compensation because the employer had not informed her that her contract had terminated until the contract was renewed.

The court stated this argument was valid because the case documents revealed that the employer had informed the employee that he would not renew the contract before 29/05/1996. The court stated this termination did not fall under the certain cases stipulated by Article 55 of the Labour Law and so the employee deserved compensation.
