Employee's claim for foreign contract value rejected; wage based on domestic employment agreement only.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding a dispute over wages earned while working abroad. The lower courts found that the employee's wage was fixed by a domestic employment contract at a specific USD equivalent, while a separate commercial contract between the employer and a foreign firm determined the total amount received from that third party. The court ruled that the employee cannot claim the full foreign contract value as their wage because the employer must retain a portion of those funds to cover domestic operational costs and profit.
