Supreme Court dismisses appeal; dismissal based on false medical grounds for termination violates labor law.
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that reinstated the employee to her original position. The employee had been terminated citing a medical contraindication to her production worker role, which the employer claimed was the sole reason for dismissal. The court found that the medical opinion cited by the employer was objectively false because the employee was actually capable of performing the required duties at the time of termination. Consequently, the termination lacked a valid legal ground under the Labor Code, rendering the dismissal unlawful and necessitating reinstatement.
Legislator-Regeste
KI-generiertArt. 229 § 4 k.p.; Art. 45 § 1 k.p.: The validity of a dismissal depends on the objective existence of a medical contraindication to the specific job duties; a false medical opinion constitutes an invalid ground for termination, mandating reinstatement.
