Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court granted the plaintiff's claim for 9,000 PLN in damages for the unjustified termination of his indefinite-term employment contract. The employer argued that the plaintiff failed to perform duties related to inventory management and billing, but the court found these reasons unsupported by evidence and contrary to the statutory requirement for a single, objective ground for dismissal. Consequently, the court ordered the employer to pay the full compensation amount and applied immediate enforceability to the portion not exceeding one month's salary.
