Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Social Arbitration Collegium at the Supreme Court ruled that suspending a 10% bonus for teachers in psychological counseling centers lacked legal basis in the relevant ministerial regulation. While the court confirmed the right to the bonus for difficult working conditions, it found the claim for a specialist bonus for methodological advice could not be derived directly from existing statutes. Consequently, the Ministry of Education was ordered to clarify the rules for granting this specific bonus within a set timeframe.
