Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the immediate termination of the apprenticeship contract was justified under Art. 337 OR.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The termination was justified because the employee had been sufficiently warned and her conduct, especially the announcement of additional unauthorized leave after the warning, seriously damaged the trust basis.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court upheld the cantonal finding that the employer could understand the employee's 30 September 2008 letter as indicating an autonomous extension of vacation. In light of the prior warning and the repeated absence/late medical certificates, continuation of the contract was no longer reasonably tolerable.
