Supreme Court ruled that the mining bonus for miners on leave is not limited by the restructuring grant regulation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the calculation of a mining bonus for a miner on leave. The employer argued that the Ministry's regulation limiting restructuring grants should cap the bonus amount, while the court found this interpretation incorrect. The court decided that the regulation only defines the grant's ceiling, not the statutory entitlement, requiring full payment of the bonus.
