The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether medical duty pay should be calculated under hospital law or the Labor Code's overtime provisions. The lower court found the plaintiff worked excessive hours without equivalent rest and argued for overtime classification based on EU directives. The court held that medical duty is a special category of work regulated exclusively by the hospital law, which does not exclude its specific payment rules even when total hours exceed limits.
