A well-prepared contract is key to secure cooperation with a Polish employee or contractor. The document should precisely define the scope of duties, the duration of cooperation, remote working conditions, settlement rules, reporting methods and confidentiality rules. In the case of B2B, it is important that the contract does not resemble an employment relationship — it should emphasise the contractor’s independence, the possibility of working for other clients and the absence of rigid subordination. In EoR contracts, compliance with Polish labour law plays a key role, which is why all HR and tax obligations rest with the EoR entity. In freelance project contracts, it is important to specify the scope of work, schedule and transfer of copyright.
The contract should also regulate issues of intellectual property, data security, GDPR, access to systems, equipment and the manner of terminating the cooperation. In an international environment, clauses concerning jurisdiction and applicable law are of additional importance — most foreign companies use the law of their own country, but must take Polish regulations into account when cooperating with a person residing in Poland.
