Teacher successfully overturns dismissal due to age discrimination at Zhambyl school in court case victory

In the Zhalynsky district of the Jambyl region, a school teacher has secured a significant victory in a court case against their employer. The teacher, who has been a dedicated educator since 1991, was initially dismissed upon reaching retirement age, despite requesting to work until the end of the academic year.

The court's decision, which upheld the teacher's lawsuit, includes reinstatement, payment of average wages for the period of forced leave, and compensation for moral damages. The exact amount of compensation for moral damages is specified in the report at 100,000 tenge. An additional 250,000 tenge was ordered to be paid by the school for the teacher's legal fees.

The total amount awarded to the teacher, including wages, moral damages, and legal fees, amounts to 2.65 million tenge. The court also issued a private ruling to the district education department due to identified violations.

This case follows a trend of teachers facing issues with employment and compensation, as seen in other recent news articles. The employer did not provide a timely notice of contract termination, disregarding the employee's rights. The school's actions were found to violate labor code norms, collective agreements, and industry agreements.

The Supreme Court reported a victory for the teacher in the lawsuit against their employer. The specific school where the teacher worked is not specified in the report, but the district court and regional court were involved in the case.
