TY - JOUR TI - Criminal liability for lack of payment of remuneration for posted worker AU - Kumor-Jezierska, Ewelina AU - Grygutis, Jakub TI - Criminal liability for lack of payment of remuneration for posted worker AB - Criminal liability for lack of payment of remuneration for posted worker This article deals with the misdemeanour liability which may be imposed in the event of a lack of payment of a remuneration to a posting worker when a due amount of money for such a remuneration is regulated by a Member Stater other than Poland. The authors analyse the aforementioned problem from the perspective of the Polish misdemeanour law. Having done so, the authors have perceived two problems: lex loci of an act and availability of an interpretation of a legal penalizing norm stemming from the EU directive. The former problem was solved by accepting the proposition that lex loci for a negligent default of payment of a remuneration by an employer of a posting worker is always the country of her principal office which in practise is always the country from which a posting worker is being posted. The latter, by accepting the proposition that a regulation on remuneration for posting workers, which is a body of law of a foreign country, should be deemed as comprising of overriding mandatory provisions, in turn those provisions may be used to interpret a legal norm encompassed with a misdemeanour sanction because those overriding mandatory provisions have theirs base in the EU law that is part the Polish legal system.  ASJC: 3308, JEL: J53 * Niniejszy artykuł w zakresie współautorstwa Jakuba Grygutisa powstał w ramach projektu badawczego pod nazwą „Diamentowy Grant”, sfinansowanego ze środków budżetowych na naukę w latach 2017–2020, nr projektu: 321691.  VL - Volume 27 (2020) IS - Volume 27 Issue 2 PY - 2020 SN - 1429-9585 C1 - 2544-4654 SP - 147 EP - 158 DO - 10.4467/25444654SPP.20.014.11952 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/szppips/article/sankcja-karna-za-niewyplacenie-wynagrodzenia-za-prace-pracownikowi-delegowanemu KW - posting workers KW - remuneration KW - misdemeanours KW - sending employer
