An employment contract creates a labour relationship governed by the Labour Code. It implies subordination, working‑time rules and employee protections.
Employees have rights to leave, minimum wage, protection in special periods and safe working conditions.
Employers must pay on time, pay ZUS contributions, keep time records and ensure workplace safety.
See fixed‑term contract.
See employment termination and notice periods.
In practice employment often starts with a probationary contract. After that, parties usually sign a fixed‑term or indefinite contract.
The contract should clearly state working time and pay rules. Overtime has statutory limits and supplements, so it is best reflected in the contract or internal policy.
An employee starts with a 3‑month probation. After positive assessment, a fixed‑term contract is signed. Missing written terms can trigger disputes about duties.
An employment contract must comply with minimum wage rules and payment standards. In practice, specify the pay date and components (e.g., bonus, allowance).
Working time and overtime rules should follow the contract or internal policy. The employer must keep time records, which are crucial for settlements and disputes.
Beyond the contract, rights and duties may follow workplace rules or collective agreements. These often contain details on working time, bonuses or additional benefits.
In practice, some benefits follow company policy (bonuses, allowances, private medical care). Check which benefits are guaranteed and which are discretionary.
Labour law provides special protection periods (e.g., pregnancy, parental leave). In such cases termination rules are restricted.
The employer must provide OHS training and written information about employment conditions. This is important because it confirms rights and duties from the start.
Before signing, make sure the parties’ data and terms match your arrangements. Formal errors can complicate later settlements.
