Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a nurse against a public health facility regarding unpaid annual bonuses and arrears. The plaintiff argued that the employer failed to pay bonuses for years 1999-2002 and 2001-2003, while the employer contended that reducing staff below 51 persons exempted them from the annual bonus regulation. The court ruled that while the statutory regulation no longer applied due to the staff reduction, the employer remained obligated to pay the bonus until the conditions of employment were formally and timely terminated.
