2015/54 From which date does interest start to run on wages owed following invalid dismissal? (SK)

The Slovak Labour Code is silent on interest for late payment of wage compensation in the event an employment contract is terminated invalidly. The Civil Code provides that interest is owed in the event of late payment, but whether the relevant provisions of Civil Code apply to employment relationships is disputed. This has led to heated debate amongst Slovak scholars and to contrasting judgments (including between the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court) on the date from which to calculate interest. Does the interest accumulate from the end of each month on which salary  should have been paid or does it not begin to accumulate until the court has ordered the employer to pay compensation?
