The prohibition of the preparation for the termination of the employment contract and the prohibition of the performing the action having the outcome equivalent to the termination of the employment contract

The elaboration is dedicated to new employers' duties concerning the ban on the preparation for the dismissal of employees, and the ban to apply measures equivalent to dismissal. Both institutions have been introduced in the course of the transposition of the Directive 2019/1152 and the Directive 2019/1158. Author analyzes the Directives and the Labour Code provisions on the protection of employees who make use of transparent and predictable working conditions and rights connected to parenthood. In Author's opinion, the amendment of 9 March 2023 made Polish regulations on protection against dismissal more complicated. At the same time, in practice the new provisions only to a limited extent improved the employee situation. However, enacting these regulations was necessary due to the Member States' obligation of correct implementation of the European Union law.
