Remember that the declaration of entrustment of work is limited to a maximum of 6 months. After that, you need to apply for a work permit for your employee or s/he needs to apply for temporary residence and work permit, provided that the foreigner stays in Poland legally.

- sign a contract with the foreigner (employment or civil law) following the terms of employment indicated in their permit or statement no later than on the date of commencement of work,
- present the foreigner with a translation of their contract in a language which they do understand.
Work permits contain specific employment conditions. A foreigner may perform only work based on this document and the conditions specified therein. If they wish to work for another or next employer, you need to register a new declaration of entrustment of work or obtain a new work permit.
