A retired public employee successfully sued the state for 1,939 hours of unpaid overtime. The Second Chamber of the Court ruled in the employee's favor, despite the lack of prior authorization for the extra hours worked. The court acknowledged the absence of a formal order approving the overtime. However, key evidence presented by the employee proved crucial to the decision. This evidence supported the claim that the extra work was consistently performed and acknowledged by superiors. The ruling establishes a precedent regarding overtime compensation even without explicit prior approval. This case highlights the importance of documenting work hours and acknowledging extra effort.
