Supreme Court allows appeal against disciplinary fine where internal rules offer more favorable appeal procedures than the Labor Code.

The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of an appeal against a disciplinary fine imposed on an employee. The employee argued that his company's internal work regulations provided a more favorable appeal procedure than the mandatory Labor Code timeline. The court ruled that internal regulations can be more favorable than statutory law and that the statutory appeal period does not apply when a more lenient internal procedure is utilized.
