Employer of Record in Poland

A Polish EOR (Employer of Record) specializes in handling all employment-related obligations and liabilities, simplifying the expansion process in the country while maintaining full compliance. This includes managing payroll efficiently, adhering to tax regulations rigorously, and ensuring strict compliance with local labor laws. While your company continues to oversee daily employee operations, the EOR assumes the crucial role of the legal employer. This partnership not only lightens your administrative load but also guarantees comprehensive compliance with Polish regulations, making it ideal for employers.

Why use Poland EOR?

Partnering with a Poland EOR/PEO simplifies your business expansion. You may be unfamiliar with Poland's unique labor laws, but an EOR/PEO, with local expertise, ensures compliance with regulations like minimum wages and working hours. 


This is because Poland’s labor laws have some unique laws different from many other countries. For example, annual leave is based both on age and years of employment. Employees under the age of 30 are entitled to 20 days of leave, while those above 30 get 26 days, provided they have a certain length of employment service.


Even experienced foreign employers may overlook these nuances. A Poland EOR can help you navigate these nuances and compliantly hire employees from the country. 

EOR Costs in Poland

Poland EOR/PEO service costs vary based on factors like the number of employees, services required, and project complexity. Pricing typically includes a monthly fee per employee or a percentage of their salary, plus extra charges for additional services. For a customised quote, consult with the EOR/PEO provider.

Why work in Poland?

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Risks of misclassification

"Misclassification of employees" refers to incorrectly categorizing workers, often as independent contractors, leading to legal issues. In Poland, partnering with a PEO/EOR reduces misclassification risks by ensuring compliance, precise payroll, and access to benefits, allowing employers to focus on core operations.
