Supreme Court quashes labor agency's social security liability due to insufficiently proven employment contracts abroad.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision ordering a Polish labor agency to pay social security contributions for workers sent abroad. The agency argued it only acted as a sub-intermediary, matching Polish job seekers with foreign agencies that handled the actual employment, rather than concluding direct employment contracts itself. The Court found the lower courts erred by failing to verify whether the workers were actually employed by the agency or by other entities, noting that contributions were already paid by third parties for these individuals.
