I can’t speak to this case, but generally low wage workers are paycheck to paycheck and so get jobs while they wait for the system to do their thing. They only get paid for loss of income, so it actually subtracts what they earned in that time and so by working in the meantime the damages paid are much smaller. There are no punitive damages or anything.

Is that for Poland, or somewhere else?

In Britain you're compensated up to £643/week by default (up to your weekly pay amount), plus compensation similar to what you describe.

I don't speak Polish, so I doubt I could find the situation there.

United States, sorry that's what I meant about not speaking to this case. I was very unclear!

My apologies for the confusion.
