Polish Supreme Court dismissed cassation; employer's agreement to suspend work without vacation pay is valid under Labor Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the employer's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling awarding vacation pay to an employee. The employee had not used his statutory vacation before the parties agreed to terminate the contract early, with the employer suspending the employee's work duties instead. The court held that such an agreement is valid and beneficial to the employee, as it avoids the mandatory vacation pay requirement. Consequently, the employer was not required to provide the vacation in kind, and the cassation was rejected.
