The Supreme Court revoked lower court judgments dismissing an employee's claim for a 15-year anniversary bonus. The court found the employer incorrectly applied old rules that excluded non-socialized work periods, ignoring new collective agreements allowing such periods. The court ruled that the right to the bonus is acquired on the date new favorable regulations enter into force, not earlier.
