New regulations on transparency of remuneration in the recruitment process

Posted on 27.27.2025 by kancelaria

From 24 December 2025, recruitment rules will change.

The amendment to the Labour Code introduces the obligation to disclose remuneration at the job advertisement stage. It also changes the way advertisements are formulated – they must be gender-neutral and free from any suggestions regarding the preferred gender of the candidate.

What does this mean for employers?

the need to review work and remuneration regulations,
update job titles,
adapt the recruitment process to the new requirements,
and prohibit asking candidates about their previous earnings.

This is the last moment to prepare your company for the upcoming changes.

A new definition of workplace bullying is on the horizon – what will change for employers?

Posted on 24.24.2025 by kancelaria

The government is finalising work on a draft amendment to the Labour Code, which redefines the concepts of mobbing and discrimination.

The changes are intended to tighten regulations and provide greater protection for employees, but for companies they mean that they will have to adapt their rules and procedures within six months of the law coming into force.

The most important changes:

a new definition of mobbing, which also covers unintentional actions,
the introduction of the concept of discrimination by association and assumption,
minimum compensation – at least three times the minimum wage,
the obligation to update work regulations and anti-mobbing policies.

Any unclear situation in employee relations may now result in a higher risk of claims.

Employment of foreign students and graduates in Poland: between simplifications and tighter controls

Posted on 17.17.2025 by kancelaria

The employment of foreign students and graduates of Polish universities in 2025 is a topic fraught with new challenges and legislative changes.

Simplified procedures for students and graduates improve access to the labour market, but stricter Border Guard controls and new document verification requirements impose additional obligations on employers.

In a new article on Lexplorers, Dominika Cząstka, LL.M., explains the key aspects of legal employment, the consequences of the new regulations and the risks associated with incorrect documentation of student or graduate status.

This is a must-read for all employers who hire foreigners or plan to recruit students from abroad.

No more paper applications to the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS)

Posted on 3.03.20254.04.2025 by kancelaria

The change comes into force tomorrow – 4 November 2025.

From now on, entrepreneurs no longer need to print and store paper copies of their Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) notifications. This marks the end of unnecessary bureaucracy and another step towards the full digitisation of HR and payroll documentation.

What does this mean in practice?

Fewer administrative duties,
lower costs and fewer errors,
greater data security,
consistency with the document circulation digitisation process.

This is a good time to update your archiving procedures and policies and prepare your HR team for the new application handling model.
