Parallel work.

Labor law in the investment process.

We invite you to read the following post by Law Firm Partner attorney at law Jakub Stempski on changes to the Labor Code that will take effect on January 1, 2023, which will affect all employees, that means employees in investment process as well.

Parallel work.

After the new regulations enter into force, the employer will not be able to prohibit the employee from being in an employment relationship with another employer at the same time, and the employee cannot be discriminated on this basis. The employment contract cannot contain provisions stating that the employee may not take up additional employment or restricting this employment. Limitation of possible additional employment will be possible only on the basis of a separate non-competition agreement, non-competition agreement or when separate regulations allow for limiting the employee’s employment.

Polish Development Congress

Yesterday, partners of our law firm, Lidia Blaszka-Griffin and Jakub Stempski, took part in the 5th Polish Development Congress. We had the opportunity to talk about today’s challenges that are faced both by the development industry and cities’ mayors, and also to meet with the lawyers operating in the industry. The congress was dominated by topics related to the upcoming market cooling and the related uncertainty. Participants discussed in panels devoted to, inter alia, public transport, financing of development investments, the lex developer act and spatial planning reform. The culmination of the event was the evening gala in which we participated, and at which the annual ranking of cities was presented. The event was graced by a concert by the excellent Małgorzata Ostrowska. We would like to thank the Polish Association of Developers for the opportunity to participate in the Congress and see you at the next congress.

Amendments to the Labor Code.

In August this year, significant changes to the Labor Code were to enter into force, implementing EU directives on parenthood and transparent working conditions. Due to the delay in legislative work in the Polish parliament, the implementation of these changes has been postponed. As of today, the government plans to enter into force of the new regulations from January 1, 2023. Poland had 3 years to implement these changes – the original implementation date expired at the beginning of August 2022. In upcoming posts, we will present material on the planned changes, compiled partner attorney at law Jakub Stempski.

Contracts for a trial period.

The amendment introduces several modifications to the existing solution, which relate to:

  1. the possibility of extending the contract for breaks at work, such as vacation, excused absence,
  2. a renewed employment contract for a trial period may be concluded only if its subject is a different type of work,
  3. the contract may be concluded for a period depending on the period for which the employer intends to employ the employee next, e.g. if the employer intends to hire the employee for a fixed period of less than 6 months, a trial period contract may be concluded for a month, if the contract is for a period of time specified will be concluded for a period between 6 and 12 months, then a trial period contract may be concluded for a period of two months,
  4. a contract for a trial period may be concluded for a maximum of 2 months, as indicated above, while the contract concluded for both one month and two may be extended by a maximum of one month.
