Teacher dismissed for employer-side reasons denied severance as statutory law excludes manded teachers.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for severance pay after the employer terminated her employment under Article 231 § 4 of the Labor Code. Although the plaintiff argued that the transfer of her workplace to a religious congregation constituted a significant worsening of working conditions, the Court found the statutory exclusion of manded teachers inapplicable. The decision rests on the explicit provision that the Act on Special Rules for Termination of Employment does not apply to teachers holding a mandate.
