Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the company's cassation appeal regarding unpaid social security contributions for a 15-day employment contract. The lower courts correctly determined that the contract duration was calculated from the signing date to the calendar end date, totaling 15 days. The Court ruled that the Civil Code provisions regarding the exclusion of the first day of a term do not apply when a specific calendar date is used to define the contract's end rather than a duration in days.
