Journal Title: Radca Prawny. Zeszyty naukowe - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The gloss assesses a current judgment handed down by the Supreme Court regarding alternative claims of employees (Article 45 of the Labour Code) arising under the provisions of the Labour Code in the event of defective notice or termination of employment. The authors put forward a critical view of the fourth thesis of the judgment (judgment of the Supreme Court of 8 December 2016, court file No. II PK 264/15). The gloss criticizes the Supreme Court’s position that partially conditions the effectiveness of an employee’s motion to have claims modified during proceedings before a labour court on the consent of the employer (when the modification is from a claim for damages to a claim for reinstatement). The arguments are supported by reference to current views expressed in both commentaries and case law, as well as the principles of labour law and the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The authors maintain that the judgment commented upon does not comply with the principles of labour law that lay down the requirement and the need to protect the employee and rule in favor of the employee’s rightful interests as the weaker party in the employment relationship.
