Foreign currency lump sum for business trips is not equivalent to work pay and cannot be part of wages.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a truck driver against a labor court ruling that awarded him a foreign currency lump sum for business travel. The employer argued the lump sum was part of the work wage, while the court found it was merely a reimbursement for expenses like food and accommodation. Consequently, the court held that such a lump sum is not equivalent to work performed abroad and cannot constitute a component of the employee's wage.
