Odprawa parlamentarna oraz ochrona stosunku pracy posłów w ustawie o wykonywaniu mandatu posła i senatora

Under the law, in relation to expiry of the mandate a parliamentarian is entitled to a severance pay in the amount of three salaries. The right does not apply to a Deputy or Senator who has been elected for the next term or who has resigned. A Deputy retains the right to the allowance also in a situation where he/she does not take advantage of an unpaid leave and does not possess the status of the so-called professional MP. The protection of the durability of the employment relationship, based on Article 31 para. 2 of the Act, covers only Deputies who took on unpaid leave due to the performance of their mandate.
