Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for an annual bonus, ruling that periods of sick leave do not count as effective work. The lower court had incorrectly interpreted the statute to include any time spent in an employment relationship, regardless of actual work performed. The court clarified that the new law requires effective work, distinguishing it from previous regulations and statutory provisions regarding vacation leave.
