Supreme Court dismissed academic's claim for extra pay for bidding committee duties as statutory and regulatory provisions do not provide for such compensation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Stanisław P.'s cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected his claim for additional remuneration for serving as chair of a university bidding committee. The court found that neither the Higher Education Act nor the relevant Ministry Regulation provided for extra pay for organizational duties like chairing a bidding committee, which are inherent to the academic's role. Consequently, the court held that without evidence of exceeding standard working hours, no additional compensation was legally due.
