Supreme Court dismisses work accident claim for commute from home to client meetings under task time system.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a fatal traffic accident occurring on the way from the insured's home to a client meeting. The Social Insurance Institution argued that such commutes are excluded from work accident coverage, even when performed under a task-based work time system. The court ruled that the accident did not occur during the employer's control or the specific commute between the employer's premises and the workplace, thereby denying the one-time compensation benefit.
