Recognition bonus not considered work remuneration, thus excluded from wrongful dismissal compensation.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking compensation for wrongful dismissal and suspension. The court held that a specific recognition bonus lacks the character of work remuneration and therefore cannot be included in the calculation of damages for termination. Consequently, the lower court's award was upheld as the disputed bonus was not a compensable element of salary.
