Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding a severance payment claim. The employee argued that an agreement to terminate the contract should grant severance due to organizational changes, but the employer contended it intended to maintain the workforce. The court ruled that severance requires proof the employer agreed to the termination specifically because they aimed to reduce staff, a condition not met here.
