Question juridique clé
Whether the gratuitous use of the vehicle was part of salary or merely reimbursement of work-related expenses
Solution extraite
The vehicle use did not constitute salary; it only covered necessary travel expenses borne by the employer.
Motifs extraits
The employee could use the car only for work-related travel in Switzerland and had to keep it near the border. Under Art. 327a CO the employer had to bear travel expenses; the salary deduction clause was void.
