The subjective and objective scope of the Act on Collective Redundancies – latest case law

The author discusses the latest case law of the Supreme Court, which clarifies the moment of assessing whether an employer has reached the threshold of employing 20 employees (Article 1(1) of the Act of Collective Redundancies) which is particularly important in a situation where the number of employees changes as a result of redundancies already made by the employer. The Supreme Court’s position on the interpretation of the concept of ‘reasons not related to the employee’ when the employment relationship is terminated in the context of collective redundancies by mutual agreement is also discussed.
