Contract clause allowing employer to change work location without limits is void under Labor Code.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a labor court judgment awarding travel allowances to employees. The court found that the employment contracts contained an unqualified clause permitting the employer to change the work location without specifying the destination or duration, which violated the Labor Code. Consequently, the court ruled such clauses void because they restrict employee rights without statutory basis, thereby upholding the lower court's decision to award the claimed allowances.
