The Supreme Court dismissed the claim regarding the calculation of annual leave compensation under an oral employment contract. The employee argued that the agreed 38% of gross salary covered the full annual leave entitlement, while the employer contended the 35% rate applied. The court ruled that the specific percentage of gross salary agreed upon did not automatically equate to the statutory annual leave compensation rate.
