“Pay me my lodging allowance for spending the night in my sleeper cab” - Labour and employment law

The Supreme Court of Poland recently held that providing a truck driver with a berth in a sleeper cab in the vehicle for use during international transport does not constitute “free lodging” and thus requires the employer to pay the driver a lodging allowance. This interpretation may prove costly not only for transport companies.
