Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Maria B. against a lower court ruling awarding her back pay. The lower court found that the employer unilaterally reduced her salary from 2.4 to 1.8 times the average wage, a decision the Supreme Court upheld as legally sound. The court reasoned that the parties' agreement to a lower salary did not violate labor law prohibitions and that the specific 'Kominowa' Act only sets a maximum cap rather than guaranteeing a minimum entitlement.
