Find out how Remote can guide you through the complexities of managing cross-border hiring, payroll, taxes, and compliance.

 

Employing in Poland

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.

Minimum Wage

The minimum wage in Poland is PLN 30.50 per hour or PLN 4,666 per month, which equals PLN 55,992 per year, based on a standard 40-hour workweek. This rate is effective starting January 1, 2025.

Payroll Cycle

For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly instalments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.

Onboarding Time

We can help you get a new employee started in Poland fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 6 working days.

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.
