Supreme Court rules employee retains bonus rights after takeover if employment terms remain unchanged.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court upheld the plaintiff's claim for annual bonuses following the takeover of a healthcare facility. The lower court found that the right to the bonus was embedded in the employment relationship's substantive terms, not solely in the now-repealed 1985 Act. Consequently, the court ruled that the new employer inherited these rights because the takeover did not alter the employment contract's content.
