Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against the lower court's decision to reinstate the employee. The employer argued that a 30-day gap between contracts exceeded one month, but the court clarified that one month equals exactly 30 days. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory conditions for automatic conversion to an indefinite-term contract were met.
