About the webinar
Understanding the difference between contractors and employees is essential for companies planning to hire people in Poland without establishing a local subsidiary. Join our lawyers, Grzegorz Wozniak and Filip Kowalczyk, on Tuesday 29th July, for an insightful webinar and learn how to resolve issues connected with employing people in Poland by a foreign company without establishing a local subsidiary.
This webinar will cover the legal framework, risks of misclassification and legal and practical aspects of hiring employees and contractors in Poland by a foreign company.
Companies hiring people in Poland face challenges, especially regarding the classification of workers as employees or contractors. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for compliance with Polish laws and for successful operations in Poland. Correctly classifying individuals as employees or contractors is crucial, as misclassification can lead to significant risks and liabilities.
The primary approach is to hire employees on a direct employment contract, which aligns with the main rule in Poland. However, there is also the alternative of engaging contractors or sole traders to perform specific parts of the project, offering flexibility in managing project tasks and providing an effective solution for addressing special needs.
Agenda for the webinar:
- Introduction to labour law in Poland
- Classification: employee or contractor?
- Direct employment by a foreign company
- Using a B2B (Business-to-Business) contract
- Using a contract for specific work
- Compliance and risk management
- Best practices and case studies
- Q&A
