General assembly decision to allocate profit to privatization fund overrides individual profit bonus rights under Polish labor law.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that a general assembly's decision to allocate all profits to a privatization fund validly deprived other employees of their statutory profit bonus rights. The plaintiff argued this violated the collective reward regulation and social norms by denying him both the bonus and privatization shares. The court held that democratic assembly decisions prioritize collective goals like privatization over individual interests and do not require satisfying every employee's claim.
