Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court's dismissal of a miner's request to return to work, ruling that the employer's termination was premature. The employee had requested leave on the day after his scheduled return, citing a company custom allowing such requests up to 9:00 AM the following day. The court held that while the law requires leave requests by the start date, established workplace practices can extend this deadline, making the employee's absence justified.
