Employer's unilateral wage change notice is not a termination of old contract terms without explicit revocation statement.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a dispute over employee compensation following a factory takeover. The plaintiff argued that a new wage regulation constituted a unilateral termination of previous collective agreement terms, while the employer contended it was merely a proposal subject to mutual agreement. The court ruled that without an explicit statement revoking old conditions, such a notice cannot be deemed a unilateral change of contract terms.
