The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a regional court ruling awarding special severance pay to a bank cashier. The plaintiff argued she was entitled to the bonus under a bank regulation due to her dismissal, while the bank contended the regulation only applied to employees dismissed after its effective date. The court held that the regulation explicitly covered only those selected for dismissal and reached agreements after its entry into force, excluding the plaintiff whose contract ended prior to that date.
