The issue of professional burnout
The issue of professional burnout

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the matter of professional burnout, as a challenge for the future labour law. Currently, the Regulation of the Minister of Labour and Social Policy on General Provisions on Safety and Health at Work does not contain specific legal statements on burnout. As burnout is not included in the Polish regulations that define the list of occupational diseases, currently no doctor can issue a sick leave due to burnout. In practice, at the moment, advanced burnout symptoms can only be grounds for sick leave for mental health reasons or insomnia, diagnosed by a psychiatrist. The study also addresses the matter of special health leave resulting from sectoral regulations.
