Supreme Court dismisses school dismissal during health leave, ruling it violates the Teacher's Charter unless school is fully liquidated.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the lower courts' rulings that allowed a school to terminate a teacher's employment during a health recovery leave. The teacher argued that the dismissal violated her right to paid leave for health recovery under the Teacher's Charter, while the school claimed organizational changes justified the termination. The court held that the Charter's provision for school dismissals does not apply to teachers on health leave except in cases of total school liquidation, thereby overturning the previous decisions.
