Cassation dismissed: Internal regulations awarding profit bonuses are discretionary, not mandatory, under Polish labor law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a claim for profit bonuses from an agricultural research institute. The plaintiff argued that internal regulations mandated bonus payments, but the court found the relevant provisions used discretionary language allowing the rector to allocate profits freely. Consequently, the court ruled that the bonus was a facultative benefit rather than an obligatory one, upholding the lower court's decision against the plaintiff.
