Termination of an employment contract with notice by an employee for reasons not related to the employee and the right to severance pay under Art. 8 of the act on collective redundancies

The author presents the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court linked to the concept of a cause unrelated to an employee within the meaning of the Act on collective redundancies and the related right to severance pay under Art. 8 of this act. She does so against the background of the latest judgment of the Supreme Court in this respect, in which the Court directly indicated for the first time, that not every situation of improper performance of duties by an employee may be classified as a cause not related to the employee and that unilateral termination of the contract with notice by an employee does not exclude his / her acquisition of the right to the severance pay provided for in this Act.
