Supreme Court quashes labor court ruling on overtime pay requiring employer's actual knowledge of work.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment regarding overtime compensation due to a procedural error in establishing the employer's consent. The plaintiff argued that the employer's failure to object implied consent to systematic overtime work, while the employer contended that such work requires explicit economic justification and the employer's actual awareness. The court ruled that the employer's tacit consent is only valid if they were aware the work was being performed, rejecting the argument that silence equates to permission for prolonged overtime.
