Payment of Salaries – Compensation for Unjustified Dismissal of Contract – Indefinite Period Contract
A case involved a dispute between an employee and a bank over the payment of his salaries.
Background
An employee filed a case against a bank requesting that the court order it to pay his salaries.
The court rejected the case.
The employee appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.
The employee appealed by cassation.
Decision
Before the cassation court the employee argued that the ruling had contradicted material documentary evidence as the court had rejected his request for compensation for the unjustified dismissal of the working contract based on the contract having an indefinite period, but the bank had failed to provide the contract to prove its claims.
The court stated that this argument was invalid as the case documents revealed that the contract had an indefinite period.
The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
