Legislator summary

AI generated

The Polish Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a lower court ruling. The employee argued that a collective agreement required counting all prior employment periods for higher pension severance, while the company contended the text only applied to continuous service. The court held that the specific wording distinguishing between groups meant prior periods could not be automatically included for those transferred from state enterprises.

Art. 392 KPC; Art. 393 § 12 KPC: A collective agreement clause granting higher severance to employees with continuous service does not automatically extend to those transferred from other entities unless explicitly stated, and appeals regarding procedural costs are inadmissible if not separately adjudicated.
