A draft act on pursuing claims in collective proceedings prepared by the government has already had its first reading in Sejm. Pursuant to the draft, at least 10 employees who have similar claims against the employer, for instance for payment of outstanding remuneration or allowance, will be allowed to submit a collective statement of claims against their employer. Instituting of the collective proceedings will not exclude a possibility of pursuing one’s claims by persons who have not joined or has withdrawn from the group of people submitting the statement of claims.
