Supreme Court dismissed appeal; collective agreement rules on anniversary bonuses do not apply to factory managers.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Gustaw S.'s cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that denied him an anniversary bonus. The court found that the collective agreement's bonus provisions excluded factory managers acting on behalf of the employer, as they are not covered by wage-setting rules. Consequently, the bonus was deemed a discretionary reward rather than a fixed wage component, preventing the employee from claiming statutory interest.
