Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the problem of termination of fix term employment in Polish labour law. It should be mentioned that lately in Poland number of fixed-term contracts is increasing. The reason of this increase could be that fixed-term contract may be terminated at any time, with two weeks notice regardless of its duration. The employer is neither obliged to present a reason of dismissal. In 2008, Constitutional Tribunal held that regulation about fixed-term employment in Labour Code is consistent with Polish Constitution, but there was one separate opinion of judge T. Liszcz. The purpose of this article is to discuss this issue one more time and provide new arguments, especially that there will be amendment to the Labour Code.
