Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a task-based working time claim against a sales company. The lower courts had allowed overtime pay based on achieving specific sales targets, arguing this constituted a task under labor law. The Supreme Court ruled that such economic results do not define concrete tasks and that the statutory requirements for establishing task-based time were not met. Consequently, the court declared the task-based time arrangement invalid and remanded the case for a new decision on the overtime claim.
