KCC 255/2008, 256/2008

This case involved a claim by an employee for their dues including severance pay. An employee had a right to be paid salary and severance pay if they left their job because they had not been paid their salary.

Background

An employee filed a case against a company and requested the court order the company to pay his dues.

The court ruled that the company should pay the employee 1189.483 Dinars.

The employee and the company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court changed the appealed ruling and ruled the company should pay the employee 3904.622 Dinars.

Decision

The employee and the company appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.

In Appeal No. 255/2008: The employee stated the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation and had violated the right of defence because the court had established its ruling based on the argument that he had willingly left his job although he had left his job because the company had refused to pay his wages.
