Already next year, the Government of the Republic of Poland plans to “use” all contract contracts regardless of the revenues achieved. The planned reform will not be without impact on the labour market. Contractors are expected to earn a change 13.71% Less. We can learn about the planned reform from the Government National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023 in version dated 14 March 2022.
Each Member State of the European Union was required to submit to the European Commission at the end of April 2022 a plan for economic and social change. In Poland for the National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023 corresponds to the Ministry of Technology and Entrepreneurship. Polish National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023, in addition to the said "deleting" of contract contracts, it provides for improvements in the field of justice, health services and the introduction of a "single contract".
According to the National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023 „The aim of the reform is to reduce labour market segmentation by increasing the social protection of all those working under civil law contracts, by covering these contracts with social security contributions, regardless of the revenue generated. The planned changes will contribute to the orderlyisation of the social security system, the sealing of insurance rules, the increase of insurance cover or the increase of future long-term benefits." The changes planned by the government to civil law contracts would be introduced in first quarter 2023.
For those employed for a contract of employment, the key change may be a ‘single contract’ announced by the government.
From the National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023 However, it is not clear what should be understood by the term "single contract", but only that the aim of this reform is to "increase flexibility and security in the Polish labour market" According to experts, the government may plan to introduce a number of patterns of employment contracts (depending on the type of employment contract) to which employers would be obliged.
In this respect, as the Polish government emphasizes, consultations with employers' organisations and trade unions are planned.
National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023 are also changes in the judiciary. The Polish government plans to apply such a reform from third quarter 2023. According to the National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023 The reform would include:
- Flatten the structure of the judiciary by changing the organisational structure of the judiciary and eliminating one the level of appeal courts;
- reducing the number of judicial districts while leaving existing judicial units (these units are to be branches of courts);
- optimization of the burden on judges,
- reduction in function.
Issued 14 March National Reform Programme Directive 2022/2023 is in the process and is still under way, so its final shape may change by the end of April this year.
