Poland tackles illegal employment

Under the new rules drawn up by the government, Polish employees will need to have a written job contract, or a document confirming the terms of employment, before they start work.

At present, employers have until the end of the first day to give a new worker a contract.

Employers often claim during checks by labour inspectors that workers employed illegally and without a contract are on their first day in the job.

The amendments will now be debated by the upper house of parliament. (pk)
