Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding her dismissal from a bank due to insufficient computer skills. The lower courts found that while the employer must facilitate training, they are not obligated to organize specific courses for employees to meet professional standards. The court ruled that the employee's inability to use standard office software did not justify dismissal, as she had not failed to meet the objective criteria for selection among similarly situated staff.
