Polish Supreme Court dismissed appeal; refusal to sign job scope justified dismissal under Labor Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that reinstated him to work. The plaintiff argued that the employer's refusal to accept his signature on the job scope and regulations constituted a valid ground for termination. The court held that while the employer could cite additional reasons for dismissal, the primary issue was the timing of the alleged absences relative to the termination notice. Consequently, the court found the lower court's reasoning flawed regarding the sequence of events and the validity of the dismissal grounds.
