The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment regarding unpaid wages for a driver who lost his license after his employment ended. The plaintiff argued he remained ready to work, while the employer claimed his loss of qualification proved otherwise. The court ruled that merely losing qualifications does not automatically negate readiness to work and requires a broader assessment of the employee's conduct and the employer's actions.

Art. 48 § 1 k.p.; Art. 81 § 1 k.p.: The loss of qualifications after employment termination cannot be the sole basis for denying a declaration of readiness to resume work; readiness must be assessed based on the employee's intent, physical capacity, and continued availability to the employer.
