Make employment in Poland easy. Let us handle payroll, benefits, taxes, compliance, and even stock options for your team in Poland, all in one easy-to-use platform.
Employees in Poland must receive a work medical examination prior to hire as well as a mandatory health and safety training session. Remote can handle both of these requirements for your team. Poland allows both fixed-term and indefinite employment contracts, as well as formal probationary periods, which are limited to three months. Employers should always use written employment agreements to ensure both company and employee know what to expect.
Contact Remote to learn more about how to employ workers in Poland.
The minimum wage in Poland is 4,806.00 PLN per month, effective January 2026.
For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly installments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.
We can help you get a new employee started in Poland fast.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Employees in Poland are entitled to 20 days of paid time off per year for the first 10 years they are in the workforce. After 10 years, the amount increases to 26 days. Poland counts education toward total employment time. In addition to this leave, all employees in Poland are entitled to 13 paid holidays.
Poland provides up to 52 weeks of maternity leave for new mothers, split into three parts. The first part of maternity leave in Poland lasts up to 20 weeks and begins six weeks before the mother’s due date. New mothers cannot return to work until at least 14 weeks have passed since childbirth. After the first 20 weeks, the employee may request an additional six weeks of leave, which the employer is required to provide. Beyond the first 26 weeks, the employee may request an additional 26 weeks as parental leave, which can be taken by either parent. In the case of the death of a new child, mothers are entitled to at least eight weeks of leave, or at least seven days of leave if the child was over eight weeks old at the time of death. Mothers may choose to receive either 80% or 100% of their average pay from the last year, with no limit, for the first 20 weeks. Mothers who take 80% continue to receive 80% pay on parental leave after maternity leave ends. Mothers who take 100% pay receive 100% of their average salary for the first six weeks of parental leave, then 60% for any remaining parental leave. Pay for this leave comes from social programs, not employers. Mothers who give birth to multiple children at once (twins, triplets, etc.) receive additional leave depending on the number of children born from the same pregnancy.
In Poland, fathers can take two weeks of paid leave with 100% compensation. There is no limit on payments for paternity leave. Polish law does not recognize LGBTQ+ relationships and does not allow same-sex couples to adopt.
In addition to basic maternity and paternity leave, parents may share up to 32 weeks of parental leave. Parents must make a written request to use this additional leave within three weeks of the child’s (or children’s) birth. Parental leave pay depends on the pay taken for maternity leave, as described in the previous section.
Employees under 50 years of age receive compensation for up to 33 days per calendar year. This amount is paid for by the employer. If sick leave has to extend beyond 33 days, the compensation for the additional days is paid by the Social Security Office (ZUS). Employees 50 years of age or older receive compensation for up to 14 days per calendar year. Again, in case the employee has to extend this leave beyond the stipulated 14 days, compensation is paid by ZUS. Sick leave is paid at 80% of the allowance basis or 100% of the allowance basis if the illness occurs during pregnancy or was caused by an accident at work or during the commute from/to work. In the case of sickness or injury picked up at work, the compensation is provided by ZUS.
- Childcare leave: Employees may take two days or 16 working hours to care for a child who is 14 years old or younger. - Wedding leave: Employees are entitled to two days of leave for their own wedding, or one day of leave to attend the wedding of a child. - Grandchild leave: Employees are entitled to two days of leave for the birth of a grandchild. - Bereavement leave: Employees are entitled to two days of leave after the death of a spouse, a child, or a parent. Employees are entitled to one day of leave for the death of a sister, brother, or in-law.
In Poland, it is common practice for employers to offer a reason (in writing) to terminate a contract of employment. A notice period must be provided to ensure both parties have time to identify and hire a replacement.
Reasons for termination may include any violation of the employment agreement or the performance of the employee.
In Poland, employees who are on a contract (fixed-term or indefinite) are entitled to a notice period, the duration of which depends on the number of years of service. The notice period is usually three months for employees who have worked with the company for more than three years. The notice period is one month for employees who have between six months and three years of service. For less than that, the notice period is usually a week.
Employers in Poland must offer notice even during a probationary period. This notice period must be between three days and two weeks depending on the terms of the contract.
Severance pay in Poland should always be included in the employment contract. Severance usually becomes applicable when the employer initiates the termination. In the case of employees who have worked with the company for more than eight years, severance compensation is the equivalent of three months’ salary. For employees who have worked with the company for anywhere between two and eight years, severance is two months’ of pay. For employees who have worked with the company for less than two years, severance pay is one month’s salary.
The maximum length of a probationary period of employment in Poland is three months. Polish companies have the right to begin employment relationships with formal “trial contracts,” which usually expire after three months. At the end of such a contract, an employer can either end the relationship or offer the employee a new fixed-term or indefinite contract.

In Poland, Remote offers both local and international coverage options to ensure that clients hiring in the country have the flexibility and coverage needed to provide the best possible care for employees.

Offering life insurance is not mandatory in this country, but providing these additional benefits can significantly enhance the financial security and peace of mind for employees. The Global Life Insurance offering provides flexible coverage levels ranging from $50,000 to $600,000, tailored to meet the diverse needs and budgets of the company and its employees. This benefit includes two options: The Basic Offering provides Life Insurance coverage. In the unfortunate event of an employee’s demise, their beneficiary will receive a payout equivalent to up to 6 times the employee’s annual salary. However, this compensation is capped at a maximum of the selected cover limit. This means that the payout will not exceed the cover limit applicable, regardless of the employee’s salary. The Comprehensive Offering at Remote combines Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Permanent Disability (PD) coverage. In cases of accidental death, dismemberment, or a permanent disability, the compensation is equivalent to up to 5 times the employee’s annual salary, subject to a predetermined limit. This compensation is capped at a maximum cover limit provided by Remote. The payout will not exceed the applicable cover limit, regardless of the employee’s salary. It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, insurance premium taxes may be applicable. This means taxes may be due to the company for the monthly premiums paid towards the life insurance coverage for employees. Additionally, life insurance benefits may be categorized as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums paid for the life insurance coverage might be counted as part of the employee’s taxable income according to the local tax laws. When life insurance benefits are offered, they must be provided equally to all employees in the respective country.
Provides financial protection and security for beneficiaries after the death of an insured team member.
In the unfortunate event of a team member’s demise, beneficiary compensation cannot exceed 6 times the team member’s annual salary or the chosen cover level (whichever is lower).

Permanent disabilities exceeding 66.67%: Full capped compensation amount
For detailed examples of how the compensation is calculated for Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Permanent Disability, refer to the help article for details

Our employer of record (EOR) service enables you to hire, manage, and pay top talent in Poland with speed and simplicity.
Remote’s EOR allows your company to legally hire employees in Poland without having to set up a local legal entity. On paper, Remote is the official employer, and we handle compliance, payroll, benefits (including equity), and other HR processes — but you maintain full control over the hire’s day-to-day management and work responsibilities. Learn more.
An EOR may be ideal if your company:
Needs to hire employees in Poland but doesn’t want to establish a legal entity
Is testing local markets before committing to a full business expansion
Wants to ensure full compliance with local employment laws and tax requirements
Needs a fast, cost-effective way to onboard employees in Poland
Needs a temporary hiring solution before establishing a legal entity
If your company wants to hire talent in Poland but doesn't have a legal entity there, our EOR provides a fully compliant and efficient solution. Poland has strict employment and payroll tax laws, and our EOR service ensures you meet these legal obligations while enabling you to grow quickly.
Key benefits of hiring through our EOR in Poland include:
Faster market entry. You can hire talent quickly, without having to wait months to establish a local entity.
Full compliance with local employment laws. Avoid the legal risks associated with non-compliance and misclassification.
Simplified payroll management. We automate payroll tax calculations and ensure you are fully compliant with all withholding obligations, even when laws change.
Lower costs. Setting up a legal entity in Poland can be costly and time-consuming. An EOR eliminates the need for entity registration, reducing overhead expenses.
Fewer resources required. With HR, payroll, and compliance managed by the EOR, your company can concentrate on scaling operations and assigning your resources elsewhere.
It’s also crucial to note that, at Remote, we own our own legal entity in Poland. As a result, we don’t need to rely on third parties, which can incur delays and extra costs, and result in a negative employee experience. All our EOR services — including the dedicated support of our local specialists — are provided in-house.
To learn more — and to see our EOR platform in action — book a demo with one of our friendly experts today.
Equity incentives are an invaluable way to attract, motivate, and retain top talent for your business. But when you cross hiring borders, they can become deeply complex.
Remote enables you to easily offer non-qualified stock options (NSOs) to your team members in Poland. There are no compliance headaches or administrative hassles — just simplicity and clarity for you and your people at every step.
NSOs are a type of equity incentive. They give your team members the right to buy a set number of shares in your company at a fixed price, known as the exercise price.
This typically happens after a vesting period, which is often based on the length of time your team member stays at your company. As a result, they are a great way to foster long-term commitment, and align people with your company’s strategic goals.
Direct employees | EOR employees | Contractors | |
Can receive NSOs? | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Difficulty score | Medium | Easy | Medium |
It’s important to note that granting stock options to contractors can also potentially increase your misclassification risk in Poland (although this is not the primary factor). See how Remote protects you against misclassification.
In Poland, NSOs are taxed in the following ways:
Direct employees | EOR employees | Contractors | |
At grant | There is no taxation at grant. | There is no taxation at grant. | There is no taxation at grant. |
At exercise | The tax treatment of the gain made upon exercise is not entirely clear, as the spread (i.e., the difference between the fair market value of the shares and the exercise price) could either be taxed as “other sources of revenue” or as employment income. | The tax treatment of the gain made upon exercise is not entirely clear, as the spread (i.e., the difference between the fair market value of the shares and the exercise price) could either be taxed as “other sources of revenue” or as employment income. | The tax treatment of the gain made upon exercise is not entirely clear, and can depend on the type of agreement between your company and the contractor (as well as the entity the contractor works for). |
At sale | Any gain is subject to capital gains tax. | Any gain is subject to capital gains tax. | Any gain is subject to capital gains tax. |
Direct employees | EOR employees | Contractors |
Taxation can be deferred to the time of sale. | There is no tax-favored scheme. | If the contractor works under a civil law contract, they can potentially postpone the taxation to the time of sale. It's also worth noting that capital gains are less heavily taxed compared to professional income, providing a slight tax advantage (compared to standard cash bonuses). In general, the earlier the contractor exercises, the better (from a tax perspective). This is because any increase in value of the shares between the time of exercise and the time of sale will be subject to a lower tax rate. |
If you want to use Remote Equity Advanced to offer stock options to your Poland-based team members, your top corporation (i.e., your parent company) must be incorporated in Delaware. Your company must also be private — not publicly listed.
