The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the appellate court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim regarding unpaid wages. The court found that converting an indefinite-term employment contract to a fixed-term contract for a board member did not constitute a disadvantageous change, contrary to the lower court's reasoning. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new interpretation of the parties' intent regarding the specific employment terms.
