Poland is an outstanding place to do so if you want to build a foothold in the European Union (EU). The country uses its own currency, the Polish zloty (PLN), but similar to other EU nations, it has a recruiting and onboarding process. Any nuances, however, make it difficult to set up Poland's payroll and recruit workers.Through our Employer of Record services, AtoZ Serwis Plus Poland will help you set up and handle the payroll.

Taxation Laws to Know

In Poland, employers have numerous taxes rules to obey. Within seven days after their first day of employment, you would need to register all your workers with the Social Security Bureau. Employers will contribute to social security as much as 18 percent of the monthly gross salary of the employee, while workers contribute about 14 %. Employers also have to pay the Wage Budget of Poland 2.45 percent of the monthly gross compensation of the employee and 0.1 percent to the Guaranteed Insurance Pool. They all contribute to unemployment insurance and are independent social security payments. Employers and employers jointly have an annual limit on pension and disability payments. The overall number for 2018 was 133.290 PLN.

Poland Payroll Options

Since every company differs based on what they do and how they operate, you can choose the Poland payroll option that works best for you. The choices include:

• Remote: In a remote payroll setup, a company will add their Poland employees to its parent company’s payroll. However, you’ll need to be mindful of the different regulations among the two groups.
• Internal: If you run a larger company with more resources, you may choose to establish Poland payroll at your office. This option requires more money and time to hire a separate staff that handles payroll.
• Poland payroll processing company: Businesses with limited time to set up and run Poland payroll can outsource with a local company in Poland. However, you’ll remain responsible for all matters of liability.
• AtoZ Serwis Plus Poland: For the easiest payroll option, you can choose Poland payroll outsourcing through Globalization Partners. We’ll handle your entire payroll and put all liability on our shoulders instead of yours.

Set up Poland Payroll

Employers need some necessary employee details to set up their Polish payroll. Before adding them to the payroll, make sure you get an employee's pension info, credentials, NIP number, and postal address. 

To start running payrolls, employers must complete separate tax registration requirements. Register the staff with the National Court Register (KRS) or Central Register and Company Operation Records (CEIDG). It is the duty of these organisations to forward application forms to the Polish Tax Service, the Social Security Agency (ZUS) and the Statistical Office (GUS).

Necessary Entitlement and Termination Terms

Until selecting Poland's payroll alternative, it is best practise to draught an employment contract that includes clear eligibility and termination conditions. In Poland, as long as the employer and employee jointly agree, employees may cancel work contracts at any time without penalty. The termination warning dates depend on how long the employee has worked for the company.
