Payment of Salaries – Severance Pay – Final Settlement
A case involved a dispute between an employee and a company over the payment of his salaries.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company requesting that the court order it to pay his salaries.
The court made a final settlement between the parties.
The employee appealed and the appeal court abandoned the ruling.
The company appealed by cassation.
Decision
Before the cassation court the company argued that the ruling had erred in the application of law as it had not denied the employee's right to the payment of severance pay, but had requested that the court make a settlement as the expert concluded that the employee illegally received an amount of money.
The court held that this argument was invalid and dismissed the appeal.
