Supreme Court allows travel allowance claim against employer, ruling it is not wages and permitting deduction of specific reimbursements.

The Supreme Court partially overturned the lower court's dismissal of the employee's claim for travel allowances, ruling that such payments are reimbursements for expenses rather than wages. The court found that while the employer could deduct specific reimbursements from the claimed allowance, the lower court failed to properly analyze the nature of the advance payments made to the driver. Consequently, the case was remanded to the District Court for a final decision on the costs and the specific deduction amounts.
