KCC 123/2011

This case involved a claim by an employee for unpaid salary. The court had been wrong to award the employee holiday pay for his whole service when the employer had argued he had received the value and the court had refused a request for an investigation on this.

Background

An employee made a complaint against a company before the Labour Department and requested the department to order the company to pay his salary. The department referred the case to the court.

The court ruled that the company should pay the employee 2919.904 Dinars.

The company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The company appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation because they had maintained before the court that the employee did not deserve holidays as he had received their value and it had requested the court to refer the case to investigation but the court had ignored its request.
