Receiving work accident disability pension does not deprive an employee of the right to severance pay.

Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a lower court ruling awarding severance pay to an employee. The employee had been granted a disability pension due to a work accident while simultaneously receiving severance pay for the period of unemployment following an illegal termination. The court held that receiving a disability pension does not preclude the employee from claiming severance pay, as these are distinct rights that can coexist without causing unjust enrichment.
