Supreme Court holds collective agreement rules on bonuses prevail over employer discretion unless higher law dictates otherwise.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and remanded the case for retrial after finding the lower court's interpretation of the collective agreement invalid. The plaintiffs argued their bonus entitlement was regulatory, while the employer claimed it was discretionary under the collective agreement. The court ruled that the collective agreement's provisions on bonus creation and distribution must be interpreted as a whole and cannot be overridden by the employer's unilateral decisions without violating higher legal norms.
