The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that awarded the plaintiff severance pay and an anniversary bonus. The court found that although the employment contract was terminated for economic reasons, these specific financial benefits were established as part of the employee's remuneration system. Consequently, the court ruled that these amounts fall under the legal definition of wages and are protected from unilateral employer deductions without the employee's written consent.
