Key legal question
Whether honoraria from hospital pools may be offset against overtime compensation due under the Arbeitsgesetz and canton law
Extracted holding
The pool honoraria could not lawfully eliminate the statutory entitlement to overtime compensation; the employee remained entitled to overtime pay of CHF 131,957.
Extracted reasoning
§ 10 Honorargesetz and the former RRB regime were contrary to Art. 13 ArG. A mandatory overtime premium cannot be replaced by or merged with performance-related honoraria; Art. 71 lit. b ArG does not permit compensation with benefits not regulated by the ArG.
