Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially overturned the lower court's decision regarding a bonus regulation change, remanding the case for recalculation. The plaintiff argued for payment based on average earnings from the first half of 1994, while the employer contended the new bonus rules applied retroactively. The court ruled that changing the basis for calculating bonuses requires a terminating notice under Article 42 of the Labor Code, and ordered the first instance court to recalculate compensation using the correct regulatory period.
