WEBINAR: B2B Turned Into Empoyment In Your Polish Business? Are You Ready For the New System?


From July 2026, Państwowa Inspekcja Pracy (PIP) can reclassify B2B and civil‑law agreements as employment contracts if they display “employment‑like” features. This means that PIP can issue a binding decision turning a B2B or umowa zlecenia/o dzieło into a full employment if the inspector during the audit determines things like subordination, fixed hours or integration into the employer’s organisation.
 
What Polish‑site employers should do now
 
If your company operates in Poland and relies on B2B or civil‑law‑contractor models, July 2026 is not a distant theoretical deadline - it is a trigger date for enforcement risk. Here are the actions that need to be taken:
 
1. Review all B2B and civil‑law‑contractor arrangements
2. Identify “employment‑like” patterns
3. Adjust contracts, structures, and working practices
4. Document independence of your contractors
