Zgodność z Konstytucją przepisu ustawy o Straży Granicznej w zakresie określenia czasu wolnego lub wynagrodzenia w zamian za czas służby przekraczający normy służby

Abstract

In the position of the Sejm a statement was proposed that the appealed provision of the Act on the Border Guard, in the area in which it stipulates that an officer entitled to a functional allowance is not entitled to time off from service in exchange for service overtime exceeding service standards, is compliant with the indicated provision of the European Social Charter drawn up in Turin on 18th October 18 1961. The Applicant emphasized that the legislator did not comply with the provisions of the ESC, for he deprived Border Guard officers serving in independent or managerial positions of the right to free time or remuneration for the time of service performed in overtime. In the justification of the position, it was stated that Article 4 of the ESC does not determine the extent of additional remuneration that employees are entitled to for overtime work. Therefore the national legislator has been left with far-reaching freedom to define the rules of remuneration of employees.
