Work accident during vacation on contract with employer not covered by work accident insurance law.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal to recognize a heart attack as a work accident. Although the plaintiff performed duties for the employer during a vacation period under a contract for services, the court held that such accidents do not fall under work accident insurance protection. The court reasoned that the employer could not be held liable for risks arising from employees working during vacation, as the law does not prohibit earning income during leave.
