Supreme Court allows teacher's appeal, ruling dismissal notice invalid if teacher not given choice to request inactivity status.

The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of the teacher's appeal regarding her termination. The teacher argued that the school director violated the Teachers' Charter by terminating her employment without first offering her the option to request a transfer to an inactive status. The court held that the law requires the employer to present the employee with a genuine choice between continuing employment in an inactive capacity or facing termination, and that a deadline set by the director does not bind the teacher. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed procedurally flawed because the teacher was not properly informed of her right to request inactivity before the termination took effect.
