Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding a profit bonus claim. The court found that internal company rules strictly tied the bonus to the profit of the specific organizational unit directly supervised by the employee, not the entire enterprise. Consequently, the employee had no right to the bonus because his unit failed to generate a profit, even though the parent company did.
