Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ruled that work performed outside normal hours or on weekly rest days constitutes supplementary work, while work on Sundays or holidays by rotating shift enterprises does not. The employer argued that Sunday labor was inherent to their operational model exceeding standard hours, whereas the employee contended it should be compensated as overtime. The court distinguished between standard rest days and Sundays for rotating shifts, establishing that the latter is not supplementary work under the cited legislation.
