The Labour Court rejected the appeal filed by the Terveys- ja sosiaalialan neuvottelujärjestö TSN ry against the employer's decision to deny a sick leave extension. The respondent argued that the extension was not justified because the employee failed to provide sufficient medical documentation supporting the continued need for leave. The court upheld the original decision, ruling that without proper medical evidence, the employer was legally entitled to terminate the sick leave period.
