Employee Awarded 10 Thousand Euros After Offensive Term in Paychecks and Decision of the Superior Court of the Basque Country
An employee will receive compensation of 10 thousand euros, equivalent to R$ 61.8 thousand, following a decision by the Superior Court of Justice of the Basque Country, which found an offensive term included in the employee’s paychecks.
Humiliation Registered in Official Document
The case began when the administrative employee identified the word “zumbada,” an expression equivalent to “crazy,” in the beneficiary field of two consecutive paychecks.
The situation escalated due to involving one of the company’s partners, who is the ex-husband of the employee, with an ongoing legal dispute over child custody.

Initial Assessment of Local Justice
In a preliminary analysis, the local court classified the incident as an isolated occurrence, dismissing the characterization of moral harassment and rejecting the compensation request submitted.
The decision considered that there would not be repeated offensive conduct sufficient to constitute a continued violation of the employee’s rights, according to the initial understanding.
Appeal and Public Exposure of the Term
Upon appealing, the employee argued that the exposure was public, as financial institutions had access to the document containing the derogatory term.
This point was decisive in demonstrating that the offense transcended the internal environment of the company and affected the social and professional sphere.
Understanding of the Superior Court
In reforming the decision, the Superior Court of Justice of the Basque Country emphasized that offensive terms in official documents violate dignity, honor, and labor principles.
The ruling stated that the offense violated the realm of privacy, acknowledging harm to professional reputation and characterizing compensatory responsibility for those involved.
Compensation of R$ 61.8 Thousand: Condemnation and Effects of the Decision

The understanding reinforces that personal conflicts do not justify offensive conduct in formal records, concluding the case with financial reparation and pedagogical effect.
