Working life in Poland - Highlights

In 2023, legal provisions on remote working and the rights of parents and carers came into force by means of a Labour Code amendment in April, which implements two EU directives: Directive (EU) 2019/1158 on work–life balance for parents and carers and Directive (EU) 2019/1152 on transparent and predictable working conditions. The amendments increase leave days for carers and introduce new regulations on remote work and were implemented following consultations with the social partners. 2024 will clarify how these solutions function in practice.

Eurofound strives to strengthen the ongoing link between its own work and national policy debates and priorities related to quality of life and work. Connecting with stakeholders and target groups at national level is an integral part of Eurofound’s work. Increasingly important in this context are the EU’s policy priorities for the green and digital transitions and an economy that works for people, promoting and strengthening European democracy.
