Supreme Court allows disabled manager's claim for overtime pay despite statutory work hour limits.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court rulings that dismissed a disabled manager's claim for overtime pay. The plaintiff, a disabled executive, worked beyond the statutory 7-hour daily limit set for disabled workers, yet the lower courts denied his compensation. The Court ruled that applying standard overtime rules would violate the absolute prohibition on employing disabled persons in excessive hours, thereby stripping them of pay for work actually performed.
