Summary/Abstract: The legal institution of exempting the employee from the obligation of working is not regulated under Polish labour law, but it is often used in legal practice. It particularly concerns the period of notice for terminating an employment contract. Due to a lack of legal regulations, this construction is a source of numerous theoretical and practical doubts in legal practice. This article looks at the prerequisites to an employer’s exempting an employee from the obligation of work and issues surrounding that employee’s compensation during the exemption period. The article examines the position of the courts, doctrine and those who practice law.
