There is an imbalance in use of flexible working forms in Poland
The high ratio of fixed term contracts The high ratio of civil-legal contracts
Small use of part-time employment Limited use of telework and work from home Lack of knowledge of flexible forms among
employers (51%) and employees (54%)
In the result: Resistance to flexible forms of employment from
employees Resistance to flexible time of work from
employers

Why employers do not like flexible forms of working
• limited confidence in the workers performing work outside office;
• more frequent training and deployment of new employees;
• increased turnover of staff;• lack of ties among employees;• difficulties in coordinating the substance
and timing of work.

Why employees prefer permanent work contracts
A worker employed on the civil-legal agreement is seen as an
additional employee. First to layoff in case of restructuring.Key/standard staff have permanent contracts (contracts of
employment)
Do teleworkers and freelancers have the same rights at work as permanent workers?

• lack of legal protection;• a heavy burden for the employee to cover the
costs of training necessary for employment;• not possible, in many cases, the use of the
employee rights;• work interfering with home life.
