A landmark decision affecting millions of salaried employees has come from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled that an employer's lawyer cannot act as a mediator and that any agreements signed through this process are legally invalid.
In a case alleging that a sick leave employee was forced to sign a resignation letter, the Supreme Court ruled that impartiality was compromised and the employee was under pressure if the mediator was the employer's lawyer, and therefore the agreement could be deemed invalid without the need for a one-year statute of limitations.
