Employer not obliged to accept employee's lighter work proposal unless special law mandates it.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against the dismissal of his labor contract. The plaintiff argued that his health condition prevented him from performing heavy work and demanded a transfer to lighter duties, citing his long service record. The court held that an employer has no general obligation to accept such a proposal absent specific statutory requirements and that the dismissal was justified by the employee's inability to perform the work.
