The Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding overtime pay claims. The court held that while an employee must generally prove their claims, the employer's failure to maintain time records shifts the burden of proof to the employer to disprove the hours worked. Consequently, the employee could use alternative evidence like expert opinions to establish overtime, but the court retained the right to verify these claims under general evidentiary rules.
