Employee’s Rights – Two Companies – Irrelevant Party – Employment Contract – Salary – Evidence – Personal Injury
This case involved a claim for unpaid salary by an employee against two companies. The second company was wrong to claim it was an irrelevant party to the case as the employee had signed a contract to work with the first company and had then been delegated to work for them. It was also incorrect that the employee had failed to provide sufficient evidence he had been injured while working.
Background
An employee made a complaint against two companies before the Labour Department and requested the department to order the companies to pay his salary. The department referred the case to the court.
The court ruled that the companies should pay the employee 13870 Dinars.
The companies and the employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court changed the appealed ruling and ruled the companies should pay the employee 45000 Dinars.
Decision
The two companies appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.
