The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Polish State Railways against a lower court awarding Gerhard G. a six-month salary severance. The court confirmed that the Collective Agreement on Workers' Guarantees, being more favorable than statutory law, governed the individual employment relationship regarding early retirement termination. Consequently, the employer was bound to pay the agreed compensation without further conditions.
