Failure to report sick leave after sick pay ends does not justify immediate dismissal if employer knew of incapacity.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a labor dispute where an employee was terminated without notice after exhausting sick leave. The employee argued the dismissal violated procedural rules, but the court found the employer knew of his medical incapacity and did not need to report the absence. Consequently, the court ruled that the employer's actions were justified and the termination lawful.
