Supreme Court dismissed appeal; business trip defined by task location, not employer headquarters.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a partial judgment awarding travel allowances to an employee. The lower courts established that the employee's permanent workplace was in Minsk, Belarus, where he performed tasks for the Polish employer's subsidiary. The court ruled that a business trip requires performing a task outside the employee's permanent workplace, not outside the employer's headquarters. Consequently, the allowances were correctly denied as the work location did not meet the statutory definition of a business trip.
