Polish Supreme Court allows former employee's claim for profit-sharing bonuses based on work performed prior to employment termination.

The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of a former employee's claim for profit-sharing bonuses earned during his tenure. The employee argued that the employer incorrectly allocated funds from a reserve pool to current staff, excluding him despite his prior service. The court ruled that remuneration is primarily compensation for work performed and cannot be denied solely due to the termination of the employment relationship, provided the worker diligently fulfilled their duties. Consequently, the case was remanded to the appellate court to determine the specific amounts owed based on the applicable regulations.
