Disputes over overtime payment are among the most common disputes arising in employment relationships. Their specific nature lies in the fact that they do not solely involve the interpretation of labor law provisions, but rather, for the most part, require a detailed determination of the factual circumstances. It is crucial to determine whether the employee actually performed work outside the applicable working hours, to what extent, and whether this work meets the criteria for being considered overtime work under the Labor Code.
Pursuant to Article 151 § 1 of the Labor Code, overtime work is work performed in excess of the employee’s standard working hours or in excess of the extended daily working time resulting from the applicable work time system and schedule. This means that simply exceeding the standard working time does not always result in overtime – the working time system and the settlement period to which the employee is subject must always be taken into account.

Notarial deposit is one of the most important institutions of notarial law, serving as an instrument to protect the interests of parties to legal transactions that, due to their nature, value, or complexity, require a higher level of security. Its primary role is to create a mechanism enabling the safekeeping of specific items—most often cash—by a notary until strictly defined conditions are met.
The importance of notarial deposits extends far beyond traditional real estate transactions. Today, this institution is increasingly used in professional transactions, particularly in commercial, corporate, investment, and restructuring transactions, where it is essential to ensure the neutrality of the intermediary and full transparency in the execution of obligations.
