Key legal question
Whether the reduction of the penalty for missing work-time records under Art. 6.1.0 GAV was unlawful or inappropriate.
Extracted holding
The reduction to CHF 3,000 was justified because the court had to assess the penalty under the collective-agreement criteria and the relevant culpability, size of business, first-time breach, and deterrent purpose.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 3.1.5 lit. c GAV sets only a ceiling, not a fixed maximum penalty. The sanction must still be determined according to the general criteria in Art. 3.1.5 lit. a and b GAV and the Federal Supreme Court's case law; the first-instance court considered the relevant factors.
