Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a truck driver against his employer's mileage-based travel allowance scheme. The court found that the employer's regulation, which calculated full daily allowances based on the shortest route within the permissible working day, was lawful under labor regulations. The court reasoned that international transport drivers face unique hardships distinct from typical business travelers, which are adequately compensated by the higher structure of their earnings despite the low base salary.
