Employer cannot require manager to assume duties of incompetent subordinates they did not hire or fire.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that awarded damages to an employee fired for failing to secure SAPARD funds. The employer argued the manager was responsible for all project documentation, but the court found the manager lacked authority to hire or fire the specific inspectors who failed to meet deadlines. Consequently, the court held that a manager cannot be held liable for the incompetence of subordinates whose selection and dismissal were outside their control.
