The Supreme Court of Poland answered two legal questions regarding work time balancing and the impact of holy days on weekly work hours. The Court ruled that holy days falling on weekdays reduce the total number of work days and hours in the settlement period. However, the Court refused to answer the third question concerning four-shift organizations, citing the principle that abstract legal interpretation should occur during specific case proceedings rather than through general rulings.
