Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the departure agreement of 23 November 2006 validly terminated the employment relationship and waived sick-leave protection under Art. 336c CO.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The agreement was not a valid termination agreement; the employee did not clearly and unambiguously waive statutory protection and no genuine reciprocal concessions existed.
Extrahierte Begründung
Given the employer-drafted agreement, lack of reflection period, restructuring pressure, and the employee's impaired psychological state, the acceptance could not be treated as a clear waiver. The amount paid matched what would have been due upon unilateral termination, so the employer made no real concession, while the employee gave up statutory protection during illness.
