Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of a driver's claim for unpaid travel allowances, ruling that flat-rate payments must approximate statutory daily rates. The plaintiff argued he received insufficient lump sums for 24 business trips abroad, while the lower courts accepted the employer's flat-rate justification. The Court held that substituting a flat rate for statutory allowances is invalid unless the flat rate closely matches the actual entitlement, thereby remanding the case for recalculation.
