Polish Supreme Court dismissed appeal; refusal of new work terms terminates contract automatically.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a labor court ruling. The employee had refused a proposed sales position due to health issues, while the employer argued this refusal triggered an automatic contract termination under Article 42 of the Labor Code. The court held that the refusal of new working conditions effectively ended the employment relationship regardless of the employee's intent, and thus the lower court's decision was correct.
