Employer's unilateral pay system change causing pay cuts is not a valid termination ground.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the employer's claim to terminate the employee's contract based on a unilateral change to the pay system. The employer argued that reducing wages constituted a fundamental breach of the employment agreement, while the employee contended that pay adjustments are inherent to the contract. The court ruled that such a change does not justify termination unless it violates the principle of good faith or the specific terms of the agreement.
