Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide external and internal legal protection against adverse employment-related activities available to employees of higher education institutions in Poland, who disclose information of public significance to which they have access, risking this disciplinary and professional liability. The article focuses on the consequences of a particular type of behavior, which is commonly referred to as „reporting irregularities“ or „whistleblowing.“ Since an academic teacher‘s employment relationship in Poland is such that the employer, when terminating the employment relationship, must state the reason for such a decision. Although academic teachers are required to comply with the Act on Higher Education and Science of 2018 and the Labor Code in the unregulated area, it should not be forgotten that there are additional legal requirements specific to their status.
