Court dismissed cassation; teacher's right to severance for organizational reasons coexists with pension severance rights.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the school's cassation appeal regarding two teachers' severance pay claims. The lower court ruled that the teachers were entitled to severance under Article 20 of the Teachers' Charter because the employment contracts were terminated based on organizational reasons initiated by the school, despite their intent to retire. The court held that acquiring pension severance rights does not preclude the simultaneous entitlement to severance pay for organizational termination, as these are independent benefits. Consequently, the cassation was rejected, and the teachers were awarded the full severance amounts.
