Supreme Court allows anniversary bonus when primary employment ends due to retirement earned from secondary employment.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether terminating a primary employment contract qualifies as retirement-related termination under a specific regulation. The plaintiff, a teacher, had earned pension rights from a secondary school job while working at the defendant museum, which later terminated his contract. The court held that the regulation applies whenever the termination is caused by retirement, regardless of which employment provided the pension rights. Consequently, the court ruled that the plaintiff was entitled to the anniversary bonus.
