Yes. The party (your employer) may submit an application for issuing a duplicate of your work permit, confirmed as being true to the original. The stamp duty for issuing a duplicate of a decision is 5PLN for each started page of the decision (so if the decision has two pages, the fee for its duplicate will be 10PLN).

You can work as long as you were entitled to work immediately before submitting the application - that is, you had a temporary residence and work permit or work permit, and after submitting the application you will work on the conditions that were indicated in the permit.
If you did not have the right to work in Poland before submitting your application, you will be able to work on condition that your employer will obtain a work permit or a declaration on entrusting work to a foreigner from the Employment Office for you.
