Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a worker's termination due to prolonged illness. The court held that vacation leave taken during sickness does not interrupt the continuous period of inability to work. Consequently, the employer correctly terminated the contract without notice because the total sick leave period exceeded the statutory limit.
