In a ruling of March 27, 2019, the Court of Cassation ruled that the labor code applies to individual employers using fixed-term contracts.
An employee was employed by an individual employer for almost 11 consecutive years with fixed-term contracts renewed each month.
The employer terminated the employment relationship following sickness of the employee.
According to the Court of Cassation, the payment of the salary by the use of the employment-universal service check (Cesu) does not allow the employer to derogate from the provisions of the Labor Code concerning the cases of recourse to the CDD and its conditions of renewal.
