Dismissal After Hyrox Participation While Sick with Pfeiffer's Disease
An employee was dismissed without notice after participating in a Hyrox fitness event while officially sick with fatigue and Pfeiffer’s disease. The worker had been absent since February due to stress-related illness but competed on March 27, leading her employer to lose trust in her honesty. A canton judge upheld the dismissal as understandable given the contradiction between her reported inability to exert herself and her athletic participation. The employee received approximately 1,212 euros in accrued wages and severance, while the company’s claim for nearly 19,000 euros in damages was rejected as excessive. Each party must bear their own legal costs following the ruling.
