Analysis and Conclusion:
Courts tend to uphold the stability of seniority and promotions made in the past, especially when dealing with retired persons, to avoid disruption and administrative chaos. Benefits related to promotions or seniority are generally not granted retroactively to already retired employees unless administrative errors or wrongful denial are established. Claims for retrospective benefits are usually limited to current employees or those not yet retired at the time of the decision. When it comes to absorption and equal treatment, employees are entitled to service benefits counting from the date of absorption, provided they are not already retired. Overall, the legal stance favors maintaining existing seniority lists and benefits, with retrospective relief granted primarily to active employees or in cases of administrative lapses.
