Accepting a new job offer after factory takeover does not deprive an employee of statutory severance pay rights.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the Regional Court's dismissal of Adam T.'s claim for severance pay following his employer's factory takeover. The court found that accepting a new job offer from the acquiring entity did not negate the statutory right to severance under the specific group dismissal law. Consequently, the court ruled that the Regional Court erred in denying the claim based on the employee's acceptance of the new position.
