Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal against a dismissal for refusing to perform assigned duties. The lower courts found that the new tasks were identical in nature to the employee's original contract, making the assignment a valid work order under labor law. Consequently, the court ruled that the employer was not required to issue a notice of changing working conditions or apply specific temporary assignment rules, and the employee was legally obligated to comply.
