Supreme Court allows renter's severance for public employee transitioning from sick pay to disability pension after term ends.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal, upholding the lower court's award of a one-time severance payment to the plaintiff. The plaintiff, a mayor who became unable to work due to illness while employed, received sick pay before transitioning to a disability pension immediately after her term expired. The court ruled that the statutory right to severance arises upon the transition to the disability pension, which occurred during the employment period, despite the termination of the employment contract itself.
