Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially allowed the employer's cassation appeal regarding a monetary severance payment awarded to an employee. The lower court had granted severance based on group dismissal rules, ignoring that the employee voluntarily resigned with a seven-day notice under Article 231 § 4 of the Labor Code. The court ruled that while the resignation method remains valid, the statutory prerequisites for group dismissal severance must still be met independently.
