Employer dismissed employee after 182 sick days; claim for wrongful dismissal without rehabilitation benefit period rejected.

The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for damages regarding the termination of his employment contract without notice. The plaintiff argued that the employer violated the protection period by firing him after 182 days of sick leave, despite having submitted a request for rehabilitation benefits. The court ruled that the statutory protection period ends upon the expiration of the sick pay, not when the rehabilitation benefit application is submitted, allowing the employer to terminate the contract at that time.
