Payment of Salaries – Settlement Document – Employee Endorsing Receiving Dues
A case involved a dispute between an employee and a company over the payment of his dues.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company requesting that the court order the company to pay his dues.
The court rejected the case.
The employee appealed and the appeal court ruled that the company pay the employee 9552.172 Dinars.
The company appealed by cassation.
Decision
Before the cassation court the company argued that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation as the court had ordered it to pay the employee's dues, but it provided the court with a settlement document in which the employee had endorsed receiving his dues.
The court held that this argument was valid and repealed the ruling.
