The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal regarding the start date of the one-month termination period. The employer argued that reliable information regarding the employee's drunkenness at an exam was only obtained on April 30, 1998, necessitating a later start to the statutory period. The court held that the period begins only when the employer acquires sufficiently verified information justifying immediate termination, rejecting the claim that mere knowledge of the event is sufficient.
