The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a cashier seeking reinstatement after her employer terminated her contract due to theft of funds. The court found that the employee left a significant sum of money in an unlocked desk drawer while stepping away, constituting gross negligence rather than intentional misconduct. Although the employee had a clean record, the court ruled that the specific circumstances required a higher standard of care, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
