Pleśniak - Labour and employment law

On 20 January 2025, the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy published a draft act amending the Labour Code on the website of the Governmental Legislation Centre. The amendments are intended to clarify the definition of mobbing, which has existed in the Polish legal system for over 20 years, and to impose new obligations on employers.

Care leave, introduced into the Labour Code on 26 April 2023 is an employee entitlement that appeared relatively recently in the Polish legal order (we wrote about its granting in the article Care Leave). As a result, there is still no established case law or practice on the application of provisions defining rules for its granting. Nevertheless, every employer should consider appropriate solutions if receiving a request from an employee for care leave.
