Management dismissed from board loses collective agreement salary rights; Supreme Court reduces pension severance amount.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court reduced the awarded pension severance from 13,545 to 3,870 zlotys while dismissing the plaintiff's appeal for a jubilee bonus. The court found that as a director managing the company, the plaintiff was excluded from collective agreement wage regulations, including the specific severance calculation. Consequently, the appellate court erred by applying collective agreement rules instead of the statutory one-month salary limit.
