Background

An employee filed a case against a company requesting that the court order it to pay his salaries.

The court ruled that the company pay the employee 934.950 Dinars.

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 erred in the application of law as the court ruled that he did not deserve compensation for the unjustified dismissal of the working contract based on the contract having an indefinite period.

The court stated that this argument was invalid as the case documents revealed that the contract had an indefinite period and thus the company is not obliged to pay compensation to the employee if it has terminated the contract.

The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
