Voluntary overtime work for colleagues under employer social program is not considered work for overtime pay.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe 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.
