Selected problems of shaping the amount of remuneration for work
Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
The normative relationship between the labour law and the civil law is specifically shown in article 300 of the Polish Labour Code, the provisions of which are met by article 353(1) of the Polish Civil Code. The mechanism of exploitation interferes with the freedom of the parties to develop the content of their legal relationship as a contract and it is an expression of the principle of contractual justice. Exploitation limits the principle of freedom of contracts, i.e. a contract concluded for the purpose of exploitation is contrary to the nature (characteristics) of the obligation relationship as well as to the acts and the principles of social interaction. It is difficult to apply the provision of article 388 of the Polish Civil Code based on article 300 of the Polish Labour Code; it does not ensure effective protection against exploitation in employment contracts either. The mechanism of exploitation in the labour law should be reviewed in terms of remuneration of employees. The employee’s right to receive equitable remuneration for work resulting from the basic principle of the labour law provided for in article 13 of the Polish Labour Code does not depart from the equivalence of benefits, but it should take both the economic aspect associated with the equivalence of benefits and the social aspect into account. However, the provisions of article 13 and article 78 of the Polish Labour Code do not provide the sole basis for employee’s claims for the determination of the remuneration for work at the “fair” level, and the employee can only demand that the remuneration be increased to the level of the minimum wage. Therefore, new mechanisms of protection against exploitation in the field of the labour law should be sought.<br/><br/>
