Disciplinary dismissal in Poland: when employers can legally use it under Labour Code

Disciplinary dismissal is the most serious consequence of breaching employment duties in Poland. Employers may only use it in situations strictly defined by the Labour Code — including serious violation of basic duties, committing a crime that prevents continued employment, or loss of required qualifications through the employee's own fault. An employee dismissed in this way loses entitlements such as severance pay.

Does the Labour Code sufficiently protect workers from abusive disciplinary dismissals?
