Supreme Court rules coal deputy payment right ceases upon re-employment in PKP, excluding current employees.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a coal deputy payment right applies to an employee re-employed in PKP. The Social Insurance Institution denied the payment, arguing the claimant was still employed rather than a former employee. The Court held that the statutory right to the deputy payment ceases because the claimant is a current employee, not a former one, and cannot belong to both categories simultaneously.
