Supreme Court dismissed appeal on whether freight commission constitutes foreign travel allowance under labor law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a lower court's ruling awarding him additional foreign travel allowances. The employee argued that a 10% freight commission paid to him was insufficient and should be treated as a separate allowance, while the employer contended it was merely part of his base salary. The court held that the written employment contract clearly defined the 10% commission as part of the agreed remuneration, and without evidence of a contrary intent, this interpretation prevails over economic arguments regarding regional wage standards.
