The Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding her claim for a pension bonus after returning a disability bonus. The court found that the employee's attempt to waive her statutory right by returning the earlier bonus could not be treated as a mutual contract withdrawal under civil law. Consequently, the court ruled that the employee remained barred from claiming the subsequent pension bonus due to the non-retroactive nature of labor law provisions.
