Polish Supreme Court quashes lower court verdict for failing to verify if doctors' reduced shifts were compensated by higher fees.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of doctors' claims for additional pay due to reduced shifts. The lower court incorrectly assumed the hospital's new schedule meant doctors worked only three hours of paid duty, ignoring evidence that they might have performed five hours of work under a flat-rate contract. The court ruled that the lower court violated procedural law by failing to verify the actual nature and duration of the work performed before denying the claims.
