The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the dairy cooperative against the lower court's judgment in favor of the employee. The employee sought overtime and weekend pay, arguing the lump-sum contract violated social norms and that the statute of limitations should run from the unused holiday date. The court held that the lump-sum payment constitutes a monthly wage rate, that the contract does not violate social norms, and that the limitation period must be calculated based on the actual work date, not the alternative holiday date.
