Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Polish Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a labor court ruling that declared her dismissal invalid. The employee had reported accounting irregularities, including double booking of software purchases and missing bank statements, to her superiors, which led to an internal audit. The court held that while the employee committed a breach of duty by failing to report these issues to the proper authorities, her act of whistleblowing did not erase her liability for the initial violation.
