Supreme Court dismisses cassation, ruling pension severance attaches to termination, not contract expiration.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding pension severance to an employee. The court found that the termination of the employment contract was functionally linked to the employee's transition to retirement, thereby triggering the statutory right to severance pay. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's decision and remitted the case for a ruling on procedural costs.
