Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the employer's cassation appeal regarding the invalidity of a unilateral change to an employee's working conditions. The lower courts found the employer's action invalid because it lacked union consent and imposed a new role with different responsibilities despite equal pay. The court held that determining whether such a change is detrimental requires considering the employee's subjective perception of the new role's differences.
