The ratio of positive to negative interpretations is virtually 50\/50. Most concern contracts of mandate (<em>umowa zlecenia<\/em>) and are generally negative, including an interpretation relating to students under the age of 26. Several concern B2B relationships, including three in the IT sector, and only one of these is negative.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/raczkowski.eu\/en\/in-exceptional-cases-even-a-protected-trade-union-representative-can-be-dismissed\/\"><strong>In Exceptional Cases, Even a Protected Trade Union Representative Can Be Dismissed<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In dealings with an employer, members of trade union governing bodies and individuals authorised to represent a trade union enjoy special protection against the termination of their employment. The individuals covered must be expressly identified in a resolution of the trade union\u2019s governing body, subject to statutory limits based either on the number of union members or on the number of managerial employees employed by the employer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/raczkowski.eu\/en\/further-simplifications-in-communications-with-trade-unions\/\"><strong>Further Simplifications in Communications with Trade Unions<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As of 30 October 2026, under the amended Trade Unions Act, trade unions will be able to request information about the number of managerial staff from an employer electronically or in documentary form, for example by email. Upon receiving this information, a representative trade union may grant special protection to an equivalent number of individuals. Until now, trade unions have had to request this information from employers in writing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/raczkowski.eu\/en\/can-employees-rely-on-the-pay-transparency-directive\/\"><strong>Can Employees Rely on the Pay Transparency Directive?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The deadline for transposing the EU Pay Transparency Directive to Polish law passed on 7 June 2026. After that date, employees may seek to rely on its provisions in court, though whether they can actually do so depends on the type of employer and the specific provision in question.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/raczkowski.eu\/en\/remote-work-from-poland-does-not-necessarily-create-a-permanent-establishment-for-tax-purposes\/\"><strong>Remote Work from Poland Does Not Necessarily Create a Permanent Establishment for Tax Purposes<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A foreign employer does not create a permanent establishment in Poland simply because its employees work remotely from a location that the employer does not use or control. This conclusion follows from the judgment delivered by the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA) on 22 January 2026 in case No. II FSK 556\/23.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/raczkowski.eu\/en\/workplace-bullying-should-be-included-in-occupational-risk-assessments\/\"><strong>Workplace Bullying Should Be Included in Occupational Risk Assessments<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On 5 November 2026, amendments to the Polish Labour Code will enter into force that significantly change the provisions governing workplace bullying (<em>mobbing<\/em>).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/raczkowski.eu\/en\/unpaid-internships-set-to-disappear-employers-will-also-have-to-pay-those-just-starting-to-gain-experience\/\"><strong>Unpaid Internships Set to Disappear \u2013 Employers Will Also Have to Pay Those Just Starting to Gain Experience<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unpaid internships are set to become a thing of the past.
