In accordance with the general rule resulting from the labor code, managers (ie people in managerial positions, independently managing a group of employees or part of an enterprise) can not demand remuneration for overtime work – this is due to the nature of their work and the needs of the employer and is often reflected in basic salary they earn.
It should be remembered, however, that if overtime work is permanent rather than incidental, it results from improper work organization in the enterprise or is related to the manager taking actions that are substantive (as well as subordinate employees) and not managerial work described above the principle is damaged and it is possible to demand remuneration for extra hours worked. In such a situation, it is usually necessary to refer the case against the employer to court.
