The Supreme Court of Poland resolved a legal question regarding whether a termination clause could be added to an employment contract exceeding six months after its initial signing. The lower court had invalidated such a side agreement, ruling that the clause must be present at the moment of contract formation to comply with Article 33 of the Labor Code. The Supreme Court overturned this, holding that the statutory language permits parties to agree on early termination at any time during the contract's duration, respecting the principle of contractual freedom.
