Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court set aside the appellate court's dismissal of the employees' claim for reimbursement of travel expenses. The court found that while the trips were not official business journeys under labor law, the employees incurred necessary costs to perform tasks assigned by the employer. Consequently, the court ruled that the Civil Code's mandate to reimburse necessary expenses applies to these situations, requiring the employer to cover the costs.
