Supreme Court dismissed cassation, allowing voluntary wage changes via agreement after employer takeover under Art. 231 k.p.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that rejected her claims for seniority pay and bonuses. The plaintiff argued that the takeover of the health facility under Article 231 of the Labor Code should have preserved her previous employment conditions, while the defendant maintained that new terms were established in a fresh employment contract. The court ruled that the voluntary agreement to modify less favorable terms was valid because it resulted from economic restructuring aimed at preventing the predecessor's liquidation, thereby serving the interests of both parties.
