Polish employment and labour law
Employees are said to be the employer’s most valuable asset. Everyone who employs employees, however, knows how many obligations related to this Polish labour law imposes on employers. It is becoming more and more difficult to meet all formal requirements regarding the employment (and dismissal) of employees nowadays. Every year, new regulations are created that must be adopted and implemented in Poland so as not to expose companies to negative legal and financial consequences.
Are you an employer and are you intimidated by the scale of your obligations regarding employment?
Are you an employee and you feel that your employer does not treat you as you deserve, but you do not know what action you can take in this regard?
Feel free to contact our office.
We will help you to fulfill the obligations imposed by Polish labour law and to get out of conflicts with satisfaction. We will accompany you in the most difficult moments, choosing individually tailored strategies and solutions that will ensure optimal protection of your interests as an employer or employee.
Employers often use ready-made templates of employee documents downloaded from websites – contracts, statements or regulations. In our experience, however, it is only in a situation of dispute that it turns out that their interest has not been properly secured, and a free document template downloaded from the Internet does not suit every situation. We are convinced that in the field of Polish labour law, as in any other area of law, attention to detail and individual approach are crucial. We know from experience how important it is already at the stage of preparing documents to become familiar with the specifics of a given type of activity, to analyze the company in organizational terms and to identify potential threats. We effectively protect the interests of our clients while avoiding excessive complexity.
