Late notification of vehicle theft by driver constitutes serious breach of duties under Polish Labor Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the driver's appeal to reinstate him after his employer terminated his contract due to a serious breach of duties. The driver lost keys to his work vehicle, which were subsequently stolen, and only notified the employer hours later rather than immediately. The court ruled that the significant delay in reporting the theft, combined with the high value of the vehicle and the driver's failure to secure it, constituted a serious breach of his basic occupational obligations under the Labor Code.
