The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Tadeusz G. against a labor court judgment denying overtime pay. The plaintiff claimed he worked extra hours as a mechanic and driver, but the court found these activities were voluntary services provided to colleagues under a social welfare program. The court ruled that such voluntary assistance, facilitated by the employer's social initiative, does not constitute work subject to overtime compensation under the Labor Code.
