Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal labor court had subject-matter jurisdiction over the employee's claim for unpaid wages linked to excessive source-tax withholding.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The claim was based on the employment contract, and the labor court was competent to determine the wage balance even if the amount depended on preliminary questions of tax law.
Fundamentação extraída
The employee sued for payment of the difference between salary actually received and salary allegedly owed. The labor court may decide incidental public-law questions needed to resolve a contractual wage claim, unless procedure provides otherwise or an administrative authority has already decided them.
