The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by three employees against a lower court's award of severance pay. The employees had accepted job transfer proposals from a new entity acquiring the assets of their former workplace before their employment ended. The court ruled that accepting such a proposal constitutes a waiver of the statutory severance payment, regardless of the formal timeline of asset transfer.
