Significant changes in labor law have come into effect. "It will be easier for employees to prove bullying"
Poland's Minister of Labor, Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, discussed the need for a new definition of mobbing in the workplace, emphasizing that the existing one was outdated and overly complex. The revised definition simplifies mobbing to persistent harassment of an employee, without specifying the duration of such behavior. The new regulations clarify that mobbing does not include isolated incidents or justified criticism. Additionally, the burden of proof remains on the employee to demonstrate their experience of mobbing, while employers are responsible for maintaining a safe work environment. New provisions allow employers to seek compensation from the harasser if mobbing is proven.
