Questão jurídica principal
Whether the employer’s damage claim against the employee had been waived by conduct after the final salary payment.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The employer could be understood to have waived the damage claim by paying the last salary without renewing the reservation or asserting set-off, despite earlier reservations.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Swiss contract law, a waiver may be inferred from the employer’s conduct if, in light of good faith, the employee may rely on it. Earlier express reservations did not prevent waiver once the last salary was paid unconditionally and no claim was asserted at that point.
