The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's dismissal of the employee's appeal, ordering his reinstatement and awarding back pay. The court found that sleeping on the company premises after work hours did not constitute a serious breach of duty because the employee lacked the intent or gross negligence required by law. Consequently, the employer could not justify the termination based on a violation of basic employee obligations.
