Employer termination during sick pay period without knowing rent decision is unlawful regardless of employee's silence.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding an unlawful termination of an employee's contract during a statutory sick pay period. The employee had not yet received a decision extending his sick leave, yet the employer terminated the contract without verifying the status. The court ruled that the employer's failure to inquire about the extension did not justify the termination, as the statutory protection period remains valid until the rent authority issues a final decision.
