A five-year battle with a happy ending! That’s how you could describe the story of our client, who faced bullying and humiliating treatment from her employer after returning from a year of sick leave. As the sales director of a shopping center, our client was assigned a new “office” in a workshop shared with the building’s maintenance worker, who, according to the new company hierarchy, was supposed to be her superior. When she objected to this treatment, she was dismissed for serious breach of duty.
The Supreme Court upheld our client’s appeal and overturned the judgment of the Municipal Court in Prague, which had dismissed the client’s action for a declaration of invalidity of the termination of employment, ruling that the termination of employment given to the client was invalid. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling, an out-of-court settlement was reached between the client and the defendant employer, under which the employer paid the client financial compensation for her wage claims.
