Marcin Frąckowiak in his commentary on workplace bullying for Prawo.pl

The new version of the regulations on workplace bullying introduces several significant changes. The definition of bullying has been revised to exclude single incidents, even if they violate the employee’s personal rights. Employers have gained the right to pursue recourse claims against individuals who engage in bullying. Additionally, district courts will now handle not only bullying cases but also those concerning the violation of personal rights. This is just part of the proposed measures included in the amendment.

In an article for Prawo.pl, Marcin Frąckowiak – Managing Counsel and Attorny-at-Law in the Labor Law Department at Sadkowski and Partners– provided his commentary on the matter.

“The draft essentially repeats all the existing flaws of the current Article 94(3) of the Labor Code, and on top of that, introduces further shortcomings (…). If we want to create a well-thought-out and effective mechanism to prevent the pathology of workplace bullying, it’s time to start drawing on the experience of experts who have been conducting internal investigations and handling court cases on bullying for years. I don’t see that happening in this draft,” our expert comments.
