Forms of employment
Temporary work is a form of employment in which 3 parties are involved: a temporary worker, an employment agency and an employer-user. How does it work? You sign a temporary employment contract with an employment agency, which becomes your employer. The employment agency delegates you to perform work for its client, i.e. the user’s employer. Under his direction, you perform your duties. On the other hand, the employment agency, as your formal employer, takes care of all HR and payroll services related to your employment, i.e. calculates and pays your salary, settles holidays, pays advances for income tax, social security contributions, etc.
Regulated by the Labour Code. Signed for a trial period, a fixed period and an indefinite period.
An employment contract is the most traditional form of employment, regulated by the Labor Code. It includes: an employment contract for a trial period, an employment contract for a definite period and an employment contract for an indefinite period.
Why is it worth using this form of employment?
- minimum wage guarantee – in the case of full-time employment under an employment contract, your monthly salary cannot be less than PLN 1850 gross (as of 2016)
- greater sense of security – all work rules are regulated by the Labour Code, which in the case of an indefinite contract protects you against unjustified or premature termination of the contract
- guarantee of longer rest – an employment contract provides you, depending on the length of service, with paid holiday leave of 20 to 26 days per year
A contract for specific work (the so-called result contract) is a civil law contract in which the contractor undertakes to perform a specific work (i.e. a specific result of work), and the contracting authority to pay the remuneration specified in the contract. This agreement is regulated by the Civil Code Art. 627-646. When concluding such a contract, it is necessary to precisely specify the work to be performed by the person performing the order. It can be anything, such as a computer program or an article. The contract specifies the expected results of the activities and the agreed amount of remuneration or the criteria on the basis of which it will be determined. The provisions of the Labour Code do not apply to a contract for specific work, therefore the contractor is only entitled to the rights resulting from the content of the concluded contract.
A contract of mandate (the so-called diligent performance agreement) is a civil law contract in which one entity (the so-called principal) commissions specific activities, and the other entity (the so-called contractor) undertakes to perform them. As a rule, a contract of mandate is concluded for a definite period of time and is regulated in Articles 734-751 of the Civil Code. The parties to a contract of mandate may be any natural persons or legal entities. The provisions of the Labour Code do not apply to the contract of mandate, therefore the contractor is only entitled to the rights resulting from the content of the concluded contract. The subject of the mandate contract is most often a specific service, and what counts is the diligent performance of the commissioned activity.

Bonuses are usually paid together with the salary. If your employer informs us about the bonus after the payment of your salary, we will give it to you at the earliest opportunity – usually the next working day after receiving such information.
You can’t change your personal information or bank account number by phone or email. To do this, you must submit a written statement to the LeasingTeam branch or to your Coordinator.
For most recruitments, we do not require candidates to have a CV. If you are looking for employees with higher qualifications and require a CV, please send the document in the language in which the interview will take place, i.e. most often in Russian or Ukrainian. If we are looking for a candidate with higher qualifications, the recruitment interview is conducted in Polish, sometimes English or another language.
LeasingTeam conducts many recruitments and is looking for people with various qualifications. We need to get to know the candidate’s skills and expectations, as well as familiarize ourselves with their documented qualifications.
We can recruit in Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. If the candidate is accepted by us and confirms their willingness to take up work, LeasingTeam will provide them with written detailed information on the working conditions, remuneration and accommodation. The information will also include the date of arrival in Polish and instructions on how to get to one of the offices of the LeasingTeam Group, of which LeasingTeam is a part.
All the people to whom we find work are employed in companies in Poland and possibly, as part of their work, they can be posted abroad, such as drivers.
Work through the agency is provided in accordance with the regulations in force in Poland. We employ employees on the basis of a temporary employment contract, civil law contract or employment contract. The employee always receives a contract in two languages – Polish and Russian. LeasingTeam pays all contributions and taxes on contracts, and the employee is settled in Poland. Thanks to legal employment, employees have access to free medical care on the same terms as Poles.
We help candidates both during the recruitment process and after employment. A coordinator is assigned to each job offer, speaking Russian or Ukrainian and Polish, to whom you can turn for help. A person who knows the employee’s native language will be present as an interpreter, e.g. during occupational medicine examinations (if the doctor agrees) and health and safety training. It will also help in emergency situations, when one of the employees feels unwell and there is a need to call a doctor, or if there are problems in the accommodation, e.g. the fridge, utilities, etc. break down.
Most often, we offer work for a minimum of 6 months. There are also job offers for a shorter period of time, from a few days (casual work) to 2-3 months, which are usually accepted by people already living in Poland.
The salary is paid only by bank transfer, to the employee’s bank account after working for a month, in accordance with the agreement, by the 10th or 21st day of each subsequent month. It is not possible to receive remuneration in cash.
We encourage employees to open an account in banks in Polish that offer debit cards that can be used in Ukraine. In Warsaw and other large cities, some banks allow you to open a bank account in Ukrainian or Russian. Even in outlets where there is no Russian-speaking service, the employee will receive all written information about the conditions for opening an account in Russian or Ukrainian. It is also possible to transfer your salary to a Ukrainian bank account, but the cost of such a transfer will be about PLN 20-30. This entire amount will be deducted from the employee’s salary. The exchange rate can also be unfavorable for him. If necessary, LeasingTeam consultants can help the employee open a bank account in Poland.
For most of the job offers for which we are looking for employees, we provide a place of residence. If the employee already lives in Poland and has their own accommodation, we try to offer them a job offer closest to their place of residence.
Yes, if working for a given employer does not suit the employee for some important and justified reasons, we try to offer him another job. This is not always possible.
Yes, it is possible to continue working through LeasingTeam. after the visa has expired. We can obtain a residence and work permit for the employee with a given employer for a period of one to three years or provide a package of necessary documents to obtain a residence card.
There are many ways to send money from Polish abroad. There are Western Union outlets in banks and retail outlets. In some large store chains such as Tesco or Pepco, there is a similar system called Moneygram. Money can also be sent from a Polish bank account to a foreign account. However, this may be unfavorable due to exchange rate differences.
No, there is no fee for intermediation in the posting of workers abroad. The employee does not incur any costs related to the mediation of CPC Consulting in the secondment.
CPC Consulting posts employees to Germany, Austria and Norway.
Qualifying for the trip for people who meet the requirements presented in the offer is not difficult. All you need to do is send your application and the date of availability for the trip. The CV should describe previous professional experience and knowledge of foreign languages. We will contact each candidate who meets the requirements contained in the job advertisement and present the offer in detail. On the same day, the candidate will not only be able to familiarize themselves with the contract and documents applicable during the posting to work abroad, but will also learn the address of the company in which they are to work and the address of accommodation.
Everything depends on the individual needs of our customers. Most often, certificates do not have to be translated into a foreign language. However, if there is such a requirement, its fulfillment is entirely the responsibility of the employee. A CV in German or English is welcome. If necessary, we help the employee with the translation.
The requirement of knowledge of a foreign language depends on the individual needs of the user employer and the position for which the employee is applying. Among our job offers, you can find both offers without the need to know the language, as well as with very specific requirements as to its level.
Yes, a worker posted to work abroad is still employed in Poland. Posting to work abroad, as part of the free movement of services in the internal market of the European Union, gives the opportunity to perform work in one country as part of employment in another country. On the basis of the A1 form issued by the Social Insurance Institution, an employee may be legally posted to work in another EU member state, while maintaining the applicable Polish legislation, i.e. the social security system of a given country.
Yes, the employee’s contributions are still paid in Poland. As part of the posting to work abroad on the basis of the A1 form, full social security contributions, i.e. pension, disability, health and sickness contributions from employees’ salaries are paid by CPC Consulting in Poland.
No, tax from the employee’s salary is not paid in Poland. Tax from the employee’s salary is paid from the first day of work by CPC Consulting in the host country. When summing up a given year, the employee receives a tax return from CPC Consulting on the form applicable in a given country. This declaration is not only a confirmation of the amount of tax paid, but also the basis for the annual settlement, which takes place in the country of posting.
Yes, a person who works abroad is insured. The insurance provided by the National Health Fund is valid both in Polish and other European Union countries. By using the blue EHIC card, i.e. the European Health Insurance Card issued by the National Health Fund, the employee can freely and free of charge use health care in the host country. Detailed information on how to obtain and obtain an EHIC card can be found on the NFZ website.
No, an employee cannot be seconded to work abroad for any period of time. The maximum uninterrupted time of posting to work abroad is 24 months. After this period, there must be a two-month break in posting.
We can talk about re-posting only if in the second month of the break the employee will be subject to insurance in the Social Insurance Institution or the Social Insurance Fund (KRUS).
An employee is seconded to perform work in the host country for different periods. Everything depends on the individual project.
Yes, an employee can count on similar earnings as those of the company in which he or she is to work. One of the main principles of posting is equal treatment of employees and the prohibition of discrimination. Posted workers are entitled to the same hourly rate and all allowances to remuneration as an employee holding the same position and employed directly by the user employer.
Each employee has the opportunity to choose in which currency they want to receive their salary. You can receive your payment in PLN or EURO. In order to receive remuneration in EURO, you need to have a bank account in the same currency to avoid the unfavourable exchange rate that banks usually use.
The remuneration is paid to the employee by bank transfer. There are no cash withdrawals.
The employee receives remuneration by the 20th day of each subsequent month following the month being settled.
After each salary transfer, the employee delegated by CPC Consulting receives a summary salary slip, in which its components are described in detail, both the number of settled hours, holidays and holidays, as well as any allowances to the remuneration related to overtime work.
No, finding accommodation abroad and the cost of renting it is not on the employee’s side. Indicating the employee’s place of residence is the responsibility of CPC Consulting. When choosing, we are guided by decent conditions and a short distance from the workplace. Usually, CPC Consulting fully covers the costs of accommodation. However, it always depends on the contract in question. It also happens that the employee covers the cost of accommodation, but then a special salary allowance is provided for him, which covers at least 50% of the cost of rent.
Yes, the employee must register in Germany. This is very important. Within the first three months of their stay, each employee should register in the host country, i.e. the country where they work, at the Commune Office or the City Hall. We try to help with this and make this procedure easier for the employee.
Yes, when going abroad, an employee can count on constant help from CPC Consulting. We take care of our employees throughout the entire period of employment. At any time of the day, our consultants are available by phone. They provide not only assistance in solving current problems, but also legal and linguistic support when dealing with formalities in offices.
Yes, an employee who decides to go abroad can count on financial support before the first paycheck. After working for at least five working days, each employee is entitled to an advance on pay. If necessary, two more advances are possible until the first payment. Such advances are transferred to the indicated account and settled only upon remuneration.
During the interview, the recruiter verifies whether the candidate has the appropriate experience, skills and competences to perform the job in a given position and whether he or she will fit into the organizational culture of the company. Therefore, the recruiter asks questions about the candidate’s previous experience and skills, as well as the candidate’s motivation and professional goals. Depending on the level of the position, during the meeting, the candidate may be given tasks or tests to solve, e.g. checking the knowledge of computer programs or a foreign language. Recruiters should inform about the course of the meeting when arranging the date of the meeting, so that the candidate can reserve enough time.
Usually, we do not have the ability to contact all candidates. We contact and invite to an interview only people whose professional profile and application documents meet the requirements specified in the job offer to the highest extent.
