Medical disability recognition does not terminate employment; employer dismissal is the required legal act.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against his dismissal by Polish State Railways. The employee argued that his official recognition as a disabled person on February 21, 1996, automatically terminated his employment contract. The court ruled that no statutory provision links disability recognition to the automatic end of a labor relationship. Consequently, the court held that only a specific legal act, such as the employer's dismissal, or a statutory event explicitly tied to contract termination can end the employment.
