Periods of work under B2B contracts, as well as contracts of mandate or other service contracts concluded with the current employer, will be included in the length of service. This will also apply to contracts concluded before the new regulations come into force.

Employees will be required to document such periods with certificates from the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) within 24 months from the date the act enters into force.
