One-day gap between job loss and sick leave does not exclude counting it in unemployment benefit qualification period.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court set aside a lower court decision that denied Joanna P. unemployment benefits due to a one-day gap between her job loss and receiving sick leave. The court found that the statutory requirement for periods to follow job termination 'directly' does not mean 'the next day,' especially when that day is a Sunday. Consequently, the court ruled that the sick leave period could be included in the qualifying period for benefits.
