Poland, located in central Europe, offers a favorable environment for businesses looking to set up offshore teams. The country boasts key advantages such as a pool of almost 20,000 ICT graduates annually, high English proficiency, and a strong presence of offshore programmer talent, with 25% of the Eastern and Central European pool located in Poland.
Additionally, Poland's IT market is experiencing stable growth at a rate of 5-10%, supported by favorable taxation policies, including a sub-category with low taxation for the high-tech sector (12% tax).
With the largest developer population in Eastern Europe, exceeding 300,000 professionals, Poland presents an ideal choice for companies seeking software development excellence.
Payroll Cycle
In Poland, payroll must be processed monthly, and employee payments must be issued by the 10th of the following month.
Employer Taxes
Regarding social security contributions in Poland, employers and employees contribute approximately 35% of the employee's salary. The employer's portion, ranging from 19.21% to 22.14% of the employee's gross pay, includes accident insurance, which varies based on the number of employees and the business sector.
Overtime Pay
In overtime work cases, the employer must provide additional compensation to the employee, ranging from 50% to 100% of their basic remuneration. Fortunately, determining the appropriate percentage threshold during the working time settlement is a straightforward process.
Paid Leave
In Poland, employees are entitled to 20 days of annual leave if they have been employed for less than ten years and 26 days if they have been employed for ten or more years. Vacation can be divided at the employee's request.
Sick Leave
During sick leave, employers in Poland are required to pay employees 80% of their salary for the first 33 days of illness in a calendar year, irrespective of any breaks. However, if the employee becomes ill during pregnancy or experiences an accident while commuting to or from work, the amount increases to 100% of their salary.
Public and Provincial Holidays
Notice Period
In Poland, the notice period for employees varies based on their length of employment. The notice period is two weeks if the employee has been employed for less than six months. The notice period is one month for employees with at least six months of employment. And for those who have been employed for at least three years, the notice period extends to three months.
13th Month Bonus
Companies do not have a legal requirement for 13th-month payments.
Setting up a separate business entity in Poland where you plan to establish a team can be strenuous and lead to significant legal costs.
Simultaneously, understanding Polish labor laws and meeting employee expectations can pose intricate and challenging tasks. This is further complicated by the need to obtain accurate and current employment information for Poland. Moreover, managing contracts and monitoring invoices via email and spreadsheets can result in disorganization and errors.
In this context, compliance is crucial, and it's necessary to follow Polish regulations, especially concerning taxes and legal matters.
