II PK 345/04
AI generated
Non-compete clause is not employment contract terms; employer may change it without consent after termination.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a dispute over non-compete compensation. The lower court had rejected the plaintiff's claim because the employer allegedly violated the law by changing employment terms without consent. The Supreme Court ruled that a non-compete clause is not part of the employment contract and does not require the same protections as salary or working conditions. Consequently, the employer was not bound by the restriction preventing unilateral changes to the non-compete agreement.
