Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage ZUS social security contributions (pension, disability, sickness, and accident insurance, running to roughly 20% of gross salary for the employer), PIT income tax withholding, and enrollment in the Employee Capital Plans (PPK), Poland’s auto-enrol workplace pension scheme, which employees can opt out of but are automatically re-enrolled into periodically.
Private medical care packages (such as Luxmed or Medicover subscriptions) are close to a market-standard expectation in Poland’s professional and IT sectors, alongside Multisport-style wellness cards and enhanced PPK employer contributions above the statutory minimum. Given Poland’s tight talent market for tech roles, these extras are often what differentiates competing offers.
Notice periods for indefinite contracts scale with tenure: two weeks for under six months of service, one month for six months to three years, and three months beyond three years. Poland also caps fixed-term contracts at a maximum of 33 months or three consecutive contracts, after which the relationship automatically converts to indefinite, a rule that trips up employers used to more flexible fixed-term arrangements elsewhere.
An EOR can typically onboard an employee within one to two weeks for ZUS registration, PPK enrollment, and contract issuance, compared with the several weeks usually needed to incorporate a Polish entity (such as a sp. z o.o.) and register as an employer with ZUS and the tax office. This makes an EOR a practical option for companies building nearshore engineering or shared-services teams in Poland without committing to entity setup first.
Poland’s fixed-term contract limits, PPK auto-enrolment rules, and ZUS reporting require ongoing local administration that’s easy to underestimate. An EOR handles that compliance and carries the employer liability, letting you access Poland’s strong technical talent pool quickly without setting up a local entity, which is particularly useful for companies testing a Central European hub.
