The High Court of Cassation and Justice has ruled that an employee of a public authority/institution may not receive from the company to which he would be seconded, a company where the salary is negotiated, a salary higher than the limits set by the laws governing public sector salaries.
The decision of the High Court of Cassation and Justice lays down rules for when employees of public institutions/authorities are seconded to other companies. In this respect, although it was established that the seconded employee cannot receive a salary higher than the limits set by the public salary law, the High Court of Cassation and Justice held that if he/she nevertheless received such a salary, he/she is not required to pay back the difference.
