A kebab apprentice who signed an agreement to work 20 or 20.5 hours a week in Switzerland, but could not take his annual leave and was unable to claim overtime, filed a lawsuit against the employer he was dismissed from 15 years later in 2009.
THE AMOUNT IS APPROXIMATELY 5 MILLION TL
The court accepted the case filed by the Turkish youth and found the witness statements sufficient, sentencing the owner of the kebab shop to pay 133,000 Euros (approximately 5 million TL) in overtime and holiday pay. According to a report in Sözcü, the kebab shop owner will also pay the court costs of 5,137 Euros.
EMPLOYEES' RIGHTS IN SWITZERLAND ARE PROTECTED BY LAW
In Switzerland, overtime pay is calculated at 25% above the normal hourly wage. In the country, both unions are strong, and employees' rights are protected by law.
