The Supreme Court of Poland declared the lower court's judgment inconsistent with the law, thereby allowing the employee's claim to restore previous wage conditions. The dispute arose when an employer unilaterally changed working conditions and pay without adhering to the procedural requirements of the collective dismissals act. The court ruled that the act applies to such changes because they effectively terminate the employment relationship if the employee rejects the new terms, establishing that procedural violations grant the employee remedies under Article 45 of the Labor Code.
