The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Krystyna S. against her dismissal from the 'E.' company. The lower courts found that while the employee lacked a written job description at the time of dismissal, she had been orally informed of her duties by her direct supervisor. The court held that Article 94(1) of the Labor Code allows for oral notification, provided the content is adequate to the job's complexity and the employee's experience.
