What do we write about?

• Whistleblower Protection Directive still to be implemented

The latest bill of the implementing act is broadly in line with the basic assumptions of the EU Directive, but the precise requirements of the internal whistleblowing procedure remain a challenge, and the bill may still be subject to change before it is sent for further work. 

• An employee convicted of an intentional offence of abuse of trust must fully redress the damage caused to the employer

The offence of abuse of trust involves a failure to perform a duty or misuse of authority granted that resulted in property damage to the organization. 

• More and more publicly available sanctions lists 

Legislation passed by European Union institutions and member states, including Poland, in response to Russian aggression against Ukraine, has established new sanctions lists. These include individuals, including entrepreneurs, and companies, whose activities may support Russian aggression.
