HRadar | HR Alert | Reclassification of b2b contracts into employment contracts

According to recent announcements by the Chief Labor Inspector, the Labor Inspectorate will be provided with tools to convert a civil law contract into an employment contract. The changes are aimed at fighting apparent self-employment. A key criterion for possible reclassification is supposed to be subordination and the ability to give instructions to individuals providing services under b2b contracts.

Although there are no published assumptions of the draft law yet, there are already voices coming from the Ministry that it favors this concept. Changing a b2b contract into an employment contract would also be possible within the framework of an administrative decision issued by the Labor Inspectorate, and not solely by a court ruling. If the Labor Inspectorate determines that a b2b contract meets the conditions for an employment relationship, it would be converted by a Labor Inspectorate decision into an employment contract. Such a decision will be subject to appeal to the court.

It is worth looking at your structures today and monitoring the changes in this regard!

Dear Sirs,

We would like to inform you that in recent days, fraudulent emails impersonating our law firm have appeared online. In some cases, these emails include alleged invoices issued by SK&S.

Such fraudulent emails can be identified as they are sent from unusual, unknown addresses that do not belong to our domain. Additionally, these messages are often sent from addresses deceptively similar to those of legitimate senders. We want to emphasize that our law firm has no connection to these emails. All official correspondence from us is sent exclusively from addresses within the domain @skslegal.pl.

We have reported this matter to the Police, specifically to the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime, due to suspicions of criminal activity. Please exercise caution: carefully verify the sender’s address and avoid opening any suspicious emails or attachments. If in doubt, we recommend deleting such correspondence immediately.
