21^st of March 2023 is the effective date of the obligation to add Part E to personnel files, in which employers will be required to include documents related to sobriety checks or checks for the presence of other substances if the result is positive, i.e. if it reveals the presence of alcohol or such substances.

The employer will be able to keep this information for a maximum of one year, and in the case of application of a disciplinary penalty until the punishment is declared non-existent.

Information on the introduction of the checks is attached to the expanded Part B of the personnel file (confirmation of informing the employee about the introduction of the checks, the group of employees subject to the checks and the way in which they are carried out).

From April 7, in turn, when the new type of work comes into effect, we will also add documents relating to its performance to Part B.
