Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the social security agency's cassation appeal, upholding the lower court's decision to classify the translator's engagement as a service contract rather than a work contract. The court found that the arrangement involved repeated, monthly translations of corporate documents under a fixed fee, indicating a continuous service relationship rather than the creation of a unique work product. Consequently, the agency was permitted to apply social insurance regulations to the translator's employment.
