Supreme Court dismisses appeal; public employee not entitled to pay during prosecutor's suspension order.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that denied him wages during a period of suspension from duty. The plaintiff, a mayor elected by direct vote, argued that the suspension was a work stoppage caused by the employer, warranting compensation under the Labor Code. The court rejected this, holding that a prosecutor's preventive measure constitutes an obstacle attributable to the employee, not the employer, thus precluding statutory wage entitlement.
