The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employer against a labor court order reinstating an employee. The employee had been absent for two days to care for a sick child, relying on an insurance card entry, but failed to submit a formal medical certificate. The court found the employer's dismissal unjustified because the employee fulfilled her duty to notify the employer of the reason for absence, rendering the dismissal a violation of labor law principles.
