The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision denying a severance payment based on a social package agreement. The plaintiff argued that the company's statute, which referenced this agreement, created a binding employment relationship obligation, while the defendant contended the agreement lacked normative force. The court held that a company's statute may define labor rights either directly or by reference to a collective agreement, thereby granting the agreement normative status within the employment relationship.
