Supreme Court dismissed appeal; collective agreement terms do not apply to company board member.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Zbigniew R., a former employee now serving as a board member, against a lower court's rejection of his claim for collective agreement benefits. The court held that the collective agreement governing the previous employer did not extend to the new company's board member, as the employment contract fully regulated his remuneration and the agreement lacked explicit exclusions for directors. Consequently, the court ruled that the disputed benefits were discretionary bonuses determined by the supervisory board rather than statutory or contractual entitlements.
