Supreme Court allows vacation pay claim but dismisses penalties against a company manager for implied employment contract.

The Supreme Court of Poland partially allowed the plaintiff's appeal regarding vacation pay but dismissed the request for penalties against the defendant company. The plaintiff, a former manager, argued that an employment contract was formed by his acceptance of work duties and payment, despite the company's initial attempt to avoid labor law obligations. The court held that the existence of an employment relationship depends on the specific circumstances, including the subordination of the worker and the parties' intent, rather than the formal validity of the initial agreement.
