In our new publication, we discuss current and practical issues in the area of labour law, occupational health and safety, data protection, compliance, immigration & global mobility, litigation, tax and remuneration in the financial sector.

• Topic 1: Remote working time and benefits associated with employees returning to the office

Remote work, which has taken hold in companies for good, still raises many questions about the time of its performance. 

• Topic 2: Occupational safety and health in remote work

The employer, as part of its general duty to ensure safe and healthy working conditions, is obliged to undertake certain occupational safety and health measures with appropriate use of scientific and technological achievements. 

• Topic 3: Data retention in recruitment

Retention of data after completion of recruitment is justified by the interests of the candidates themselves as well as employers. 

• Topic 4: Impact of amendments to the Commercial Company Code on managers' liability and management of non-compliance risk in capital companies

The amendments to the Commercial Company Code which came into effect in October 2022 have significant implications for the liability of managers working in corporate groups. 

• Topic 5: A year of challenges in the area of global mobility 

The changes in global mobility that took place in the past year are significantly linked to the armed conflict in Ukraine and the influx of that country's citizens to Poland.  

• Topic 6: Employee's return to work after court judgment 

The labour court may reinstate an employee if it is found that he/she was wrongfully dismissed. However, a judgment reinstating an employee does not cause his/her automatic reemployment. 

• Topic 7: Polish Deal and its consequences

Although the pace of change slowed noticeably in the second half of the year, you will have to deal with them in your annual tax return. 

• Topic 8: Information obligations of banks and brokerage houses regarding gender pay differentials

In 2022, we have seen further action by the European Union to ensure equal pay and to combat the gender pay gap, by which is meant differences in the salaries earned by women and men.
