Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether doctors performing night shifts were entitled to a specific night shift pay supplement. The court rejected the argument that such shifts were merely waiting time, affirming that doctors remained on duty and ready to work. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory night shift premium applied to these doctors despite the unique nature of their service.
