Criminal conviction for identity fraud justifies dismissal from a porter job without employer fault.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal by Jarosław K. against his disciplinary dismissal from a porter position at a university dormitory. The court held that committing a crime involving identity fraud, even without direct harm to the employer, justified termination because the offense undermined the absolute honesty required for a role handling student documents. Consequently, the court ruled that the lower courts correctly applied the law to end the employment contract without notice.
