Supreme Court allows teacher's severance pay claim, ruling partial disability counts as full inability to work.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court's dismissal of a teacher's severance pay claim, ruling that partial disability qualifies as full inability to work. The lower court incorrectly interpreted the Teacher's Card statute, denying benefits because the teacher could perform work in a reduced capacity. The Supreme Court clarified that the statutory language explicitly covers situations where a teacher can only work in a limited scope, thereby granting the severance payment.
