Supreme Court allows overtime pay claim where manager's silence implies approval of extra work.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal, allowing the employee to recover overtime wages. The court found that the employer failed to provide a written job description, forcing the employee to perform duties beyond her normal hours. Although the manager did not issue a written order, his presence and silence while the employee worked constituted an implied authorization for overtime.
