Supreme Court dismissed cassation against dismissal of municipal employee for work misconduct and long-term sick leave.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Mirosław P. against his dismissal from a municipal position. The court found that the employer's decision was justified by the employee's long-term sick leave, which rendered his department non-functional, and serious work-related irregularities including unauthorized absences and documentation errors. The court rejected the argument that the employer's failure to use an immediate termination clause invalidated the notice-based dismissal.
