Supreme Court remands case to determine if a protected workshop is a legal employer under labor law.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment ordering the return of an employee to work and remanded the case for retrial. The lower court found the employer's stated reason for dismissal invalid but failed to definitively identify the legal employer between the sole proprietor and the protected workshop. The Supreme Court ruled that the legal status of the employer depends on whether the protected workshop is sufficiently organizationally and financially separated to act as an independent employer.
