Poland: Obligation to register contracts for specific work in the Social Insurance Institution from 1 January 2021

From 1 January 2021 the social insurance contribution payer or a natural person ordering the specific work notifies the Social Insurance Institution about the conclusion of a contract for specific work. This obligation does not apply to contracts for specific work:

• concluded with one’s own employee,
• performed for the benefit of one’s own employer, but concluded with another entity,
• concluded with persons running a business for the performance of services that fall within the scope of their activity.

Registration forms must be filled and notified to the Social Insurance Institution within 7 days. Failure to do so may result in a fine of up to PLN 5,000.
