The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by four workers against a construction corporation regarding overtime pay. The workers argued that a task-based work time system violated their privilege under Article 18 of the Labor Code because it forced them to work longer hours to meet production quotas. The court ruled that such a system is merely an alternative to standard time and does not inherently disadvantage employees, especially when agreed upon with high compensation.

Art. 18 k.p.; Art. 393 § 1 k.p.c.: The task-based work time system does not violate the employee's privilege under Article 18 of the Labor Code, as it is simply a different system that is not less favorable than standard time.
