Reports indicate that he has faced allegations of contract violations and managed to evade the consequences of disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis of his 2025 financial disclosures shows 727,000 PLN net from his employment contract, 172,000 PLN from personal services, 50,000 PLN in councilor stipends, and 69,000 PLN for unused vacation. His assets include a 260-square-meter house valued at 750,000 PLN and two vehicles worth 340,000 PLN.<\/p>\n<h4>Scope of Income and Dual Roles<\/h4>\n<p>\u017bochowski states that his employment income covers his roles as both director and medical practitioner. He identifies his &#8220;personal services&#8221; earnings as coming from evening and weekend shifts at a different hospital in Otwock.<\/p>\n<h4>Allegations of Misconduct and Control<\/h4>\n<p>In March 2025, the county authorities issued a disciplinary dismissal against \u017bochowski, citing his failure to honor a 2014 prohibition on working at other medical facilities and exceeding standard working hours. The county board argues that his medical duties have led to a neglect of his managerial responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>The county starosta asserts that the director has blocked internal audits, preventing a clear verification of his earnings. However, the board maintains that his total compensation significantly exceeds statutory limits.<\/p>\n<h4>Legal Standoff<\/h4>\n<p>Despite the disciplinary termination, \u017bochowski remains in his post due to a court-ordered injunction. The initial hearing, originally scheduled for February 2025, was canceled at the last minute and a new date has yet to be set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Krzysztof \u017bochowski, hospital director in Garwolin since 2008, remains in his position despite a disciplinary termination in March 2025, after amassing over one million zloty in earnings in the past year.
