Payment of Salaries – Appointing of an Expert – Expert Report – Case Documents
A case involved whether an employee was due his salary amounts from his employer.
Background
An employee filed a complaint before the Labour Department requesting that the department order his employer to pay his salaries. The dispute was referred to court.
The court rejected the case.
The employee appealed and the appeal court ruled that the employer pay the employee 27864.070 Dinars.
The employer appealed by cassation.
Decision
The court assigned experts to consider the objections of the employer.
The court then stated that the case documents revealed that the employee did not work on Fridays or public holidays.
The court therefore repealed the ruling and ruled that the employer pay the employee 6369.759 Dinars.
