New misdemeanour of an employer violating employee rights

During work on the act setting out the conditions allowing foreigners to work in Poland, the Extraordinary Committee adopted an amendment to the Labour Code.

Employers that fail to pay the remuneration due to an employee for work for at least 3 months, will face a fine of PLN 5,000 to 60,000, or a restriction of liberty. The amendment was approved just before the third reading of the bill at a session of the Sejm, which ultimately voted to approve the whole bill. The bill will now go to the Senate. We will keep you posted on the further legislative fate of this and other bills.
