Supreme Court quashes judgment for lack of union agreement on pay regulation validity.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment regarding unpaid bonuses and allowances, remanding the case for a new decision. The plaintiff argued that a collective agreement had expired, while the employer claimed a new pay regulation was valid despite union opposition. The court ruled that the validity of the pay regulation depends on proper union consultation, which was not sufficiently established in the lower proceedings.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 772 § 4 k.p.; Art. 30 ust. 5 ustawy o związkach zawodowych: A pay regulation cannot enter into force without the agreement of the trade union(s) operating at the employer's premises; if multiple unions exist, their joint negative stance prevents the regulation's establishment.
