Supreme Court dismissed appeal; employer's dismissal was valid as stated reason was true and justified under Labor Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court judgment that rejected her claim to return to work. The court found the employer's stated reason for dismissal—poor interpersonal skills and conflict with subordinates—was factually true and substantiated by witness testimony and the hospital director's statements. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed legally justified under Article 45 of the Labor Code, rendering the employee's claims for reinstatement or damages inadmissible.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 30 § 4; Art. 45 § 1 Kodeksu pracy: A dismissal is considered unjustified if the employer cites a false or fictitious reason, as such a statement fails to meet the substantive requirement of justification under Article 45.
