The article examines the issue of the employer’s responsibility for the mobbing of employees. Both doctrine and judicial decisions, in particular of the Supreme Court, are referred to in the analysis, and numerous controversies in this matter are pointed out. The issues of compensation and damages are discussed, with attention paid to differences between the two claims to which the employee is entitled if he or she experiences mobbing at the workplace, and the nature of such a liability is presented, i.e. contractual liability or liability for damages. The final part refers to court statistics showing the number of claims brought under Art. 943 § 4 and § 5 of the Labour Code, also taking into account the number of cases which were concluded with final decisions, as well as the length of such proceedings and the amount of damages and compensation awarded by courts.
