Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two female lawyers against a coal mine regarding unequal pay. The plaintiffs argued for equal remuneration based on equal treatment principles, but the court found they did not perform identical work or work of equal value compared to the company's main specialists. Consequently, the court ruled that the plaintiffs failed to meet the evidentiary burden required under the Labor Code to establish a violation of equal pay standards.

AI generatedArt. 183c § 1 k.p.; Art. 183c § 3 k.p.: Employees claiming equal pay must prove they performed identical work or work of equal value, requiring comparable qualifications, responsibility, and effort, which was not established by the plaintiffs.
