The labor court ruled in favor of the employee, E. W., ordering the employer to pay 13,500 PLN in severance compensation. The court found the employer's stated reason for dismissal—introducing new pay scales—was false and fabricated to justify a pay cut. Consequently, the court declared the dismissal invalid under Article 45 of the Labor Code and awarded the maximum three-month severance. Additionally, the employer was ordered to pay the employee's legal fees.
