The Supreme Court allowed the plaintiff's claim for overtime remuneration, rejecting the lower court's dismissal based on the employer's arguments regarding the employee's age and health. The court found that the employer failed to prove the employee was unfit for overtime work or that the overtime was not performed. Consequently, the decision to dismiss the claim was overturned to ensure the employee receives the legally owed compensation.
