The Supreme Court will issue decisions on two cases regarding whether the regular bonus should be considered as ordinary wage (2020da247190 and 2023da302838) at 2:00 pm on Thursday, December 19, 2024. The decisions will be broadcast live through public channels.
The relevant issues are as follows:
|
Case No. |
Issues |
|
2020da247190 |
Enforceability of the condition that one must be an employee on the date of payment to be eligible for the regular bonus and whether such regular bonus is sufficiently “fixed” to be treated as ordinary wage. |
|
2023da302838 |
Enforceability of the condition that one must be an employee for a prescribed number of days to be eligible for the regular bonus and whether such regular bonus is sufficiently “fixed” to be treated as ordinary wage. |
The aforementioned cases will be the first en banc decisions by the Supreme Court pertaining to the ordinary wage issue since the 2013 en banc decision in which the Supreme Court confirmed that a regular bonus should be sufficiently “fixed” to be treated as ordinary wage. Whether the Supreme Court will make any changes to this “fixed” requirement and any of its other positions pertaining to the ordinary wage issue is a key focus point.
