Polish Labour Code Bilingual Edition, Polish-English

The Labour Code is the basic labour law statute in Poland. Enacted in 1974, it has been modified a number of times to reflect changes on the labour market and in industrial relations. The most recent reforms are part of the process of harmonization of Polish labour law with that of the European Union. The notion of "labour law" is, however, wider, as it includes, in addition to the Labour Code, other laws and regulations which define the rights and duties of employers and employees, as well as collective agreements, and other instruments regulating the rights and duties of the parties to an employment relation. The basic principles of Polish labour law enshrined in the Labour Code include those of freedom to enter into an employment relation, to pursue a freely chosen occupation, the right to a fair remuncration, rest, and non-discrimination in employment, to form trade unions, and to safe and hygienic conditions of work. The Code also regulates collective agreements, however the bulk of its provisions concern the employment relation.Poland Staff is the author of 'Polish Labour Code Bilingual Edition, Polish-English', published 2003 under ISBN 9788373870673 and ISBN 8373870679.
