The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that rejected claims for additional pay and a car allowance. The plaintiff argued that her managerial duties exceeded standard obligations and that the car reimbursement constituted wages, but the court found her work fell within the agreed scope and the allowance was merely a compensation for expenses. Consequently, the court held that since the allowance is not wages, no violation of labor remuneration statutes occurred, and the appeal was rejected.

Art. 393 § 12 KPC; Art. 108 § 2 KPC: A management employee cannot claim additional remuneration if duties fall within agreed general scope, and a car allowance is a compensatory expense reimbursement, not wages, thus precluding claims of wage law violations.
