Key Changes to Polish Labour Law from 2026:
* Scope: Changes will affect employee rights related to allowances, jubilee awards, holiday leave, and contract notice periods.
* Seniority Calculation: The way employment seniority is calculated is changing. Previously,business ownership and civil law contracts didn’t count towards seniority. This will change, possibly increasing seniority for some employees.

* January 2026: Changes benefit employees of budget employers (public sector).
* May 2026: Changes benefit employees in the private market.
