Teacher transfer due to school liquidation does not grant severance pay under Polish Teacher's Card Act.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's cassation appeal regarding a claim for severance pay after being transferred to a new school. The lower courts incorrectly assumed that the liquidation of the original school necessitated a termination of the employment contract, despite the teacher voluntarily requesting the transfer. The court ruled that a transfer under Article 18 of the Teacher's Card Act does not constitute a termination of the previous employment relationship, thereby negating the statutory conditions for severance pay.
