Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland resolved a legal question regarding whether a new collective agreement must terminate existing employment terms if it is less favorable to employees. The Court held that an employer must apply Article 24113 § 2 of the Labor Code even when the new agreement does not lower the employee's total global remuneration. The decision established that 'less favorable' refers to specific clauses rather than a global assessment of the entire agreement.
