Single readiness declaration insufficient for salary claim during pregnancy without detailed employer availability proof.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment and remanded the case for retrial regarding a salary claim for readiness to work. The plaintiff sought payment for a period spanning her pregnancy, while the defendant argued that a single declaration of readiness was sufficient. The court found the lower court failed to verify specific prerequisites for readiness, such as the plaintiff's intent, physical ability, and continuous availability to the employer throughout the pregnancy.
