Overpayment of anniversary bonus for 45 years does not create right to higher bonus later.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for a higher anniversary bonus after an initial overpayment. The plaintiff argued that receiving bonuses for 30, 35, and 40 years with education counted as work established a permanent right to a 45-year bonus. The court ruled that the overpayment was merely a factual error and did not alter the legal conditions required for the next bonus tier.
