This edition is essential reading for HR professionals, legal counsel, and business leaders navigating Polish employment law to keep up with dynamically changing labour law landscape in Poland. Key developments include new requirements for pay transparency and equal treatment in recruitment, promotion of collective bargaining, and stricter rules - and higher fines - around the employment of foreigners. Employers must also prepare for new powers of labour inspectors in determining a employment status of workers and changes in seniority calculation. Draft legislation will soon require paid internships, strengthen equal pay enforcement, and update anti-mobbing obligations, but at the same time abolishes certain HR and social security formalities. Employers should at least review and update internal policies and practices, and audit pay structures to ensure compliance with evolving standards.
