Labor law ruling: Employer's interest risk does not determine fault degree for dismissal under Art. 52 KP.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the employee's appeal regarding her termination for gross negligence. The court found that the employer incorrectly conflated the objective risk of errors with the subjective degree of fault required for dismissal. Consequently, the court ruled that the mere existence of errors does not prove the employee's negligent attitude without further evidence of a negative work ethic.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 52 § 1 pkt 1 KP; Art. 393 § 1 KPC: The degree of fault required to justify dismissal is a subjective element distinct from the objective risk posed by the employee's actions; therefore, the type of error alone cannot establish gross negligence.
