The court dismissed the employee's claim for reinstatement, ruling that the employer's dismissal was legally justified. The employer cited the employee's refusal to sign the agreed work scope as a valid ground for termination under Article 45 of the Labor Code. The court held that a single valid reason, if significant, independently warrants termination without needing multiple justifications.

Odmowa przyjęcia i podpisania przez pracownika zakresu czynności ustalonego zgodnie z umową o prace może stanowić uzasadnioną przyczynę jej wypowiedzenia. Pracodawca może wskazać w kierowanym do pracownika oświadczeniu kilka przyczyn wypowiedzenia umowy o pracę, a wypowiedzenie to jest uzasadnione w rozumieniu art. 45 paragraf 1 k.p., jeżeli już jedna z tych przyczyn okaże się prawdziwa i na tyle istotna, doniosła, że samodzielnie usprawiedliwia rozwiązanie stosunku pracy w tym trybie.
