Supreme Court quashes labor award for overtime pay under piece-rate system without established work norms.

The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's judgment awarding workers compensation for overtime work performed under an incentive piece-rate system. The workers argued they should be paid based on hours worked, including overtime, rather than the agreed piece-rate norms set with a foreign contractor. The court ruled that the piece-rate system cannot legally apply without first establishing specific work norms, and the lower court erred by treating contractor-agreed figures as binding labor norms.
