Employment law ruling: unilateral salary reduction requires change notice even if total pay remains unchanged.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially quashed the lower court's judgment regarding an employee's claim for unpaid salary and reinstatement. The court found that the employer's unilateral reduction of the basic salary to offset a higher functional allowance violated the requirement for a change notice under Article 42 of the Labor Code. Consequently, the claim for unpaid wages was remitted for reconsideration, while the claim for vacation compensation was dismissed due to lack of specific legal arguments in the cassation appeal.
