Supreme Court dismissed appeal, ruling employer must prove post-employment organizational needs for foreign contract termination.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employer against a lower court's award of compensation to a terminated employee. The employee was fired before his fixed-term contract expired due to organizational changes on an export construction site, which the lower court deemed a valid business necessity. The Supreme Court agreed that such needs must stem from employer-initiated contract realization factors occurring after the specific employee's hiring, rather than pre-existing miscalculations or general overstaffing. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, and the employer was ordered to pay the procedural costs.
