Key legal question
Whether the fixed-term contract validly ended the public employment relationship by mutual agreement despite sickness protection rules
Extracted holding
Yes. The parties concluded a genuine compromise/termination agreement with mutual concessions, which was valid even during the sickness protection period.
Extracted reasoning
Relative mandatory rules on sickness protection do not bar an agreed termination if both sides waive rights and the arrangement is not a mere circumvention of dismissal protection.
