Teachers didn't go en masse for overtime pay. Why?

Teachers didn't go en masse for overtime pay. Why?

Let us recall that at the end of February, the Supreme Court adopted a resolution on the basis of a case concerning a teacher who was the coordinator of a foreign exchange project for students at a high school. In her case, the additional work included preparing them for the trip, organizing the trip and coordinating contact between teachers from the host school. The woman devoted a lot of time to her duties, much more than is required by the regulations governing teachers' working hours. As a result, she filed a claim for payment of overtime. The courts of both instances partially upheld her claim and awarded her over PLN 18,500 in remuneration for overtime work with interest. The school filed a cassation appeal. The Supreme Court, in a panel of three judges, referred a legal question to the extended panel: "Has the issue of overtime work by teachers been exhaustively regulated in the Teachers' Charter, or should the provisions of Chapter V of Section Six of the Labor Code be applied accordingly - on the basis of Article 91c paragraph 1 of the Charter?"
