Supreme Court dismisses appeal; only collective agreement components subject to reduction count in sick pay base.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding the calculation of the sick pay base. The lower courts ruled that an employer-discretionary bonus, explicitly not subject to automatic reduction in the collective agreement, could not be included in the sick pay calculation. The court upheld this decision, confirming that only remuneration components legally mandated to be reduced or suspended by collective agreements or other normative acts qualify for exclusion from the sick pay base.
