Severance payment entitlement under collective agreement

The Federal Labor Court dismissed the defendant's revision, upholding the lower court's judgment and ordering the defendant to bear the costs of the appellate proceedings. The dispute concerned a challenge to the plaintiff's entitlement to a severance payment, with the defendant contesting the validity or amount of the payment claimed under a collective agreement. The court affirmed that the plaintiff was legally entitled to the severance payment, relying on the interpretation and applicability of the relevant collective labor agreement provisions governing termination compensation.
