The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding a seniority bonus and retirement severance to an employee. The plaintiff argued that the collective agreement binding the predecessor enterprise also bound the successor employer, while the defendant claimed the agreement did not apply because the chief accountant was not a manager. The court ruled that the collective agreement covers non-wage benefits like bonuses and severance, which are distinct from salary regulations restricted for managers.
