Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the employee validly consented to a salary reduction despite a written-form clause for contract amendments.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The employee's silence and acceptance of reduced salary payments over a sufficiently long period amounted to tacit consent to the contractual change and a tacit waiver of the agreed written form.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 6 OR, silence can count as acceptance when circumstances make a clear rejection necessary. Here the employer's reduced salary payments and payslips made its position clear; the employee knew he was not being paid under the original contract and nonetheless accepted the payments for more than six months without objection.
