We provide a wide range of legal services for companies wishing to post workers to other EU member states:
The term “Posted workers” (or at is known in Polish, pracownik delegowany) is defined in the European Parliament and Council Directive 96/71/EC and is governed by the Directive itself as well as by the member State’s national laws.
Posted worker is a person officially employed by a company registered in an EU member state (e.g. Poland), who’s temporarily posted to a different EU member country, for instance:
Companies officially registered in Poland (such as Sp. z o.o.) may officially post their employees to another member state.
A1 Certificate or A1 Form (known in Polish as zaświadczenie A1) is a legal document issued by a local Social Security Institution in an EU member state (in Poland that is ZUS), confirming that the employee is insured in the country issuing the certificate and the social security contributions are paid.
Each worker that will be posted to a different EU country must have a valid A1 Certificate issued by the Polish authorities — ZUS (Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych).
The A1 forms are issued on demand and can be obtained at any local ZUS branch in paper or in its digital format through the ZUS PUE portal. The Polish national identification number (PESEL) must be obtained beforehand.
Once the work permit (either „zezwolenie na pracę” or „oświadczenie” if applicable) has been registered, and the A1 Certificate has been successfully obtained, the employee can be legally posted abroad.
When crossing the border, the employee must carry (and present if requested) all registered documents that confirm the lawfulness of their employment (and stay) in the country of destination.
Once the validity of permits has expired, the employee will be required to leave the country where he has been posted, otherwise, it will be a violation of the local law.
Remember: any employee working abroad is subject to local laws.
We collect all the necessary information and paperwork concerning your case.
If you do not currently have a legal entity in Poland, we will help you establish one.
Once you have a valid legal entity in Poland we start preparing documents for your workers.
We register work permits for your employees and help them obtain their respective PESEL numbers.
Once the work permit has been issued and the A1 Certificate has been registered, the employees can be officially posted abroad.
Should additional questions arise, we provide full legal support to our clients.
