The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after termination for alleged drunk work attendance. Although the employer used an unverified alcohol tester, the court found the employee's failure to utilize the offered police retest and his admission of alcohol consumption were decisive. Consequently, the court held that the lack of a certified test did not invalidate the employer's right to terminate the contract under labor law.
