The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the employer's cassation appeal regarding deductions from an employee's wages. The court held that the alimentary nature of wages protects them from arbitrary deductions, even when the underlying debt is disputed. Consequently, the court ruled that an employee's refusal to consent to such deductions does not violate the Labor Code.
