Summary/Abstract: The monograph 'Undesirable Phenomena in Employment from the Perspective of Labour Law - Selected Issues' has been prepared by students of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Lodz - members of the Students' Scientific Circle of Labour Law operating at the Labour Law Department of the University of Lodz. The publication contains a collection of studies on undesirable phenomena in the work environment, in which the authors analyse legal solutions concerning, among others, mobbing or discrimination, drawing attention to their imperfection and formulating de lege ferenda postulates. The considerations are set not only on the grounds of Polish labour law, but also take into account international documents - including, in particular, the International Labour Organisation Convention No. 190 of 2019 on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work, around which lively scientific discussions have recently been taking place. The threat of the emergence of new undesirable phenomena in employment, which may be a consequence of, among other things, the development of modern technologies, has not escaped the authors' attention either. The preparation of the study by the youngest researchers of labour law, allows for a slightly different perspective on the perception of the issue in question, which may enliven the scientific discourse in this area.

- Keywords:anti-mobbing; anti-mobbing commission; pathologies in the workplace
- Summary/Abstract:The study focuses on the issue of anti-mobbing proceedings. In this text, the Anti-Mobbing Committee was taken under the microscope in the light of jurisprudence. It is a special body because its members are selected by the employer, who may also turn out to be a mobber. This is controversial due to the possible lack of objectivity. The authors also noted that the anti-mobbing procedure itself is not widespread among employees, and it is the employer’s duty to define it. The paper also draws attention to e.g., for allowing the need to share protocols of specific proceedings of the Anti-mobbing Committee or its responsibility for tasks in situations where it was appointed by the employer. After analyzing the jurisprudence, the authors come to various conclusions and emphasize the importance of the existence of the Anti-Mobbing Committee and some aspects related to it, both with the committee itself and its role in the above-mentioned procedure.

- Summary/Abstract:More than three years ago, the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the world’s countries have united to jointly counteract the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Many mandatory and optional solutions have been introduced to contain the pandemic. One of them was the recommendation addressed to employers to instruct employees – if possible – to work remotely (so-called home office). This allowed a large number of people to stay at home, which was supposed to minimize the risk of getting sick. Over time, this solution has become widely used as an alternative to traditional work, i.e. stationary work at the employer’s premises. While home-office working is intended to benefit both employers and employees, it is not without its disadvantages. These include, among others, the problem of protecting the employee’s privacy or his or her working time, especially with regard to the protection of his or her free time. The main part of the study will focus on the premises for the implementation of the right to be offline. The research methods used in the following study will be the literaturę analysis method and the formal-dogmatic method.
