Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an investment firm against two employees seeking commission payments. The court held that an unwritten compensation regulation, not formally communicated to employees, lacks legal force and cannot serve as a basis for remuneration. Furthermore, the court ruled that a verbal dismissal altering wage conditions is ineffective unless the compensation regulation itself is formally changed first. Consequently, the employees' claims for commissions established in the invalid regulation were rejected, and the firm was ordered to pay the plaintiffs' legal costs.
