NSA: A police officer may lose their job due to long stays on sick leave

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled on a case involving a police officer dismissed due to prolonged absence from duty. The officer had been on sick leave for over 520 days, primarily due to a service-related accident. Despite his claims that his absence was justified, the court upheld the dismissal, emphasizing that his lack of availability disrupted police operations. The court noted that the officer had been deemed fit for duty after his accident but failed to attend medical evaluations. Ultimately, the court concluded that the needs of the police service outweighed the officer's individual circumstances, affirming the legality of his dismissal.
