Supreme Court rules academic staff on fixed-term contracts must receive overtime pay immediately upon contract end.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether academic staff on fixed-term contracts are entitled to immediate overtime pay upon contract termination. The plaintiff argued that since the teaching load was calculated annually, overtime compensation should wait until the end of the academic year. The court held that overtime pay is a wage component due immediately upon contract cessation, regardless of the annual calculation method for the teaching load.
