AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against the appellate court's decision to reject her claim for additional redundancy pay. The plaintiff argued that her statutory severance and collective agreement benefits should not overlap, but the court held that an employer can autonomously structure such convergence in collective agreements. Consequently, the court ruled that since the plaintiff received the full statutory redundancy payment, she could not claim the additional emigration severance specified in the collective agreement.
