Supreme Court dismisses claim that board resolution is prerequisite for performance bonus entitlement.
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by three former managers against a lower court ruling that denied them performance bonuses. The plaintiffs argued that a supervisory board resolution was a mandatory condition for receiving the bonuses stipulated in their employment contracts. The court rejected this view, holding that the existence of such a resolution is not a prerequisite for acquiring the right to the bonus. Consequently, the court declared the cassation appeal inadmissible and remitted the case to the appellate court for a new decision.
