The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a doctor seeking reinstatement to her original dermatology position. The lower court had ruled that the plaintiff abandoned her job after performing temporary duties in an emergency division for three months, which the employer argued was a permanent transfer to a lower-rank post. The Supreme Court held that the relevant regulation limits such temporary assignments to three months per year and does not authorize a permanent transfer to a non-equivalent position, thereby rejecting the claim that the temporary work constituted abandonment of employment.
