Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the GAV required salary continuation beyond the end of the employment relationship after post-termination incapacity due to illness or accident.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Properly interpreted, the GAV protected the employee like a sickness-loss insurance scheme and the salary continuation obligation survived termination.
Motivazione estratta
The court accepted the historical intent of the GAV parties and the purpose of the clause: the employee was promised long-lasting protection comparable to a taggeld insurance, so it would be contrary to the agreement's sense and reliance interest if the protection ended immediately upon termination.
