Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that rejected the plaintiffs' claims for unpaid vacation and severance. The court found that the plaintiffs were employees of the US parent company, not the Polish subsidiary, because they worked under its direction and received wages from it. The court held that the location of work and the payer of wages do not alter the identity of the employer, which remains the entity exercising control over the employees.
