The Supreme Court dismissed the defendant's cassation appeal in a labor dispute regarding compensation for an illegal termination of employment. The plaintiff sought damages equivalent to lost wages for the notice period, including various bonuses and allowances, while the defendant argued for a narrower calculation based on statutory exclusions. The court held that compensation must correspond to the actual lost remuneration, thereby including periodic bonuses and special payments that constituted part of the employee's regular earnings.
