The labor code (art. 30(4)) only imposes to justify the termination of a labor contract for open-ended contracts or if the termination happens without notice (regardless of the type of contract). According to article 33 of the labor code, for a fixed-term contract longer than 6 months, the parties can agree in advance on the possibility to terminate this contract with a two-week notice. Thus, justifying the termination of a fixed-term contract is not imposed, inasmuch as the employer respects the notice agreed upon between the parties.
Poland: the lack of obligation to justify the termination of a fixed-term contract is constitutional
In a ruling of December 2, 2008 (sygn. P48/07), the constitutional court retained that labor law, which does not impose on the employer to justify the termination of a fixed-term contract, complies with the constitutional principles of equality and social justice. (Ref. 080998)
