The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether employees are entitled to profit bonuses when the entire net profit is allocated to reserve capital. The workers argued that the collective agreement and bonus fund regulations guaranteed their rights, while the company contended that full profit retention negated these claims. The court ruled that the obligation to create a bonus fund from a portion of profits persists even if the remaining profit is designated for reserves, ensuring bonuses remain a fixed component of remuneration.
