Long-term illness of an employee does not automatically justify dismissal without proving employer's bad faith.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Halina B. against her dismissal by Bank Zachodniy SA. The court found that while the employee's long-term illness caused some disruption, it did not constitute a sufficient reason for termination under the relevant labor law. Consequently, the court ruled that the employer's dismissal was not arbitrary and did not violate the principle of good faith.
