Supreme Court dismisses appeal; employee's waiver of anniversary bonus was invalid but barred by good faith principles.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected an employee's claim for an unissued anniversary bonus. The employee had voluntarily waived the bonus in exchange for a severance package allowing him to access public pension benefits, which the employer argued constituted an unfair advantage. The court held that while the waiver was legally void due to lack of genuine intent, the employee's subsequent attempt to claim the bonus violated principles of good faith and social coexistence.
