Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially overturned the regional court's decision regarding the calculation of a worker's sick pay. The lower court had used the full gross salary, including a foreign work allowance, as the basis for the benefit. The Supreme Court ruled that the portion of this salary equivalent to a travel allowance must be excluded from the calculation base. This decision ensures that the sick pay reflects the actual social security contribution base, which excludes such allowances.
