The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a worker against two companies regarding delayed wage transfers from Iran to Poland. The court held that the transfer of foreign currency wages constitutes a separate legal act distinct from the employment contract itself. Consequently, the specific provisions of the Labor Code governing wage payment deadlines and interest rates did not apply to this separate transfer agreement.
