Court partially allowed claim for damages due to wrongful dismissal but dismissed request to correct work certificate.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court partially granted the plaintiff's claim for damages resulting from the employer's wrongful dismissal without notice. While the plaintiff argued the dismissal was retaliatory for an error in a social security certificate, the court found no evidence of malicious intent or gross negligence. Consequently, the court awarded compensation for the wrongful termination but rejected the request to amend the work certificate, as the employer is already legally obligated to record the dismissal as initiated by the employer.
