Poland Recruiting & Hiring
You will need to grapple with cultural differences as well as job rules while you are recruiting and hiring in a foreign world. When you have never employed an employee in the region, Polish employment law can seem complex and confounding. Jobs compliance in Poland and the rules of other EU countries, however, share certain parallels.
If you intend to extend to Poland, to remain compliant, you would need to consider these different labour laws. Poland's AtoZ Serwis Plus is here to help. In order to reach these standards of compliance, we will use our already developed Poland PEO when recruiting workers who will work for you.
Recruiting in Poland
It is necessary to consider the cultural side of the recruiting process, but to have an understanding of the realistic dimensions of staffing in Poland is just as critical. When it comes to seeking eligible local talent, leveraging the proper recruiting channels will make all the difference. Via the following networks, several businesses procure talent:
- Social media: Social networks, particularly LinkedIn, are widely used by recruiters in Poland.
- Job boards: Unlike LinkedIn, job boards will allow you to directly reach a pool of candidates who are actively searching for new jobs. A balanced hiring approach in Poland will often utilize both job boards and social media.
- Newspapers: Newspapers have a relatively wide reader base in Poland, so it won’t hurt to advertise positions in the classifieds as well.
Legal Compliance During the Process of Staffing in Poland
Under Polish law, employers cannot discriminate on the basis of any of the following characteristics:
- Age
- Sex
- Race
- Religion
- Disability
- Trade union membership
- Nationality
- Political beliefs
- Ethnic origin
- Sexual orientation
Your responsibility as the employer begins during the recruitment process. To avoid legal compliance issues, don’t ask questions about any protected characteristics in interviews, meetings, or even casual conversations with potential employees.
How to Hire Employees in Poland
The jobs contract is the easiest way to recruit workers from Poland. Prior to the employee's start date, the nation needs an employer and employee to draught and sign a written contract. It is important to write the contracts in Polish. Bilingual contracts are allowed, but all interpretations would be made using the Polish version. In addition to the deal, employers will require particular statements and forms to file with the appropriate authorities.
Employment contracts must include these items:
- Name of employer and employee
- Length of the contract
- Date it was signed
- Employment terms and conditions such as compensation, bonuses, type of work, place of work, and more
Employers must also provide employees with additional written information, including work hours, holidays, and applicable collective agreements within seven days of their start of employment.
Poland Employment Compliance
Work enforcement in Poland requires several variables that start with your employment contract. There are two types of work contracts available and they vary depending on the duration:
- Short-term contracts can consist of just a three-month probationary period.
- Fixed-term contracts are available for work up to 33 months but can be renewed up to three times. If the same parties enter into a fixed-term contract for a fourth consecutive time or the total period of employment in the contract exceeds 33 months, the contract automatically becomes an open-ended contract.
You must comply with the rules of the contract you choose. If you hire a Poland employee under a probationary period, you should outline the terms of that period in the employment contract. If the agreement does not include working hours, payment frequency, or annual leave entitlements, you’ll need to inform the employee of these details in writing within seven days of the start of the contract.
How to Onboard Employees
For on-board staff, there is no uniform procedure, so you can customise the process for your company. Establish any preparation they may need before the employee's first day, and position it on their calendar for the first week. In order to acclimate workers to your company setting, you can even develop any organisational culture training kits or recordings.
