New job requiring higher qualifications than previous role does not count as same professional group under Polish labor law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a claim for re-employment in a new position. The plaintiff argued that returning to a similar role after termination constituted re-hiring in the same professional group, but the court found the new role required specialized skills previously unpossessed by the employee. Consequently, the court ruled that the new position did not belong to the same professional group as the former one, thereby rejecting the re-employment claim.
