Case Summary: Supreme Court (Criminal Circuit) 19/2017 (Criminal Liability for Failure to Compensate for Official Holidays): The Public Prosecution sued an employer as a criminal action for failing to compensate employees on a 2-week on 2-week off rotation work system for working on official holidays and rest days.
