Supreme Court dismisses appeal; dismissal letter citing 'improper duty performance' is too vague under Art. 30 § 4 KP.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the defendant municipality's cassation appeal regarding a termination of employment contract. The lower court found the termination letter's reason, 'improper performance of duties,' too general to satisfy statutory requirements. The court ruled that such vague phrasing fails to allow the employee a rational assessment of the dismissal grounds, thus violating the specific obligation to provide a concrete reason.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 30 § 4 Kodeksu pracy; Art. 38 Kodeksu pracy: The employer must provide a specific and concrete reason for dismissal, not merely general statutory phrases, to enable the employee to reasonably evaluate the validity of the termination.
