Professional Employer Organization (PEO) in Poland

What is a PEO?

Let’s start by clarifying some of the terminologies you’ll see when researching PEO services.

A PEO is a professional employer organization.

By partnering with a traditional PEO, your business can outsource its local HR responsibilities. This type of PEO will take care of:

• Employee payroll
• Employee benefits
• Employee contracts
• Onboarding
• Taxes for employees
• HR best practice

However, a traditional PEO can only do this in countries where you have your own HQ or your own subsidiary.

A global PEO, operating in Poland, (like Skuad) is slightly different. This type of PEO owns subsidiaries in any number of countries around the world.

This means a global PEO can help you to hire global talent, without you having to commit time and money to sort company incorporation in Poland for yourself.

A global PEO will then manage HR and payroll tasks for your employees at home, and around the world, advising on international labor law and tax requirements, and keeping your process compliant.

You can find PEO services in Poland and across the rest of the world.‍

What are the benefits of using a PEO service in Poland?

Want to start hiring in Poland? Working with a professional employer organization in Poland can help you to achieve your aims. It will also provide a range of great benefits.

You can hire the very best Polish talent

Now that we’re all so used to working remotely, why restrict your talent search to your local area? Geography is no longer a barrier to getting the right people and skills onto your team. With a PEO in Poland, you can hire Polish contractors and employees with ease.

You get to expand your business into Poland

What could you achieve with a local Polish team?

By expanding your business in Poland, you get access to new markets, along with the local knowledge that will help you to build and execute a comprehensive strategy.

You save time and money

Working with a global PEO in Poland significantly reduces the cost of doing business in Poland.

When you work with a PEO, you don’t have to invest heaps of time and money on entity set up in Poland. Your PEO in Poland has already done all of that hard work for you.

Pick a global PEO like Skuad and you can also save on HR costs. Rather than running an HR process in Poland and back at home, you can rely on Skuad to combine the two — simply and efficiently.

You get complete hiring flexibility

Imagine you’d set up a subsidiary in Poland. Once you’d invested all that time and money, you’d be keen to get your money’s worth, right?

That might mean hiring a whole new team in Poland — and making it a dedicated and permanent satellite office.

But this wouldn’t suit every type of business or every business strategy.

By working with a global PEO, you can hire talent in Poland and across the rest of the world. You have the flexibility to hire just one Polish employee or a huge Polish team.

You also have the flexibility to test the waters or scale things down if you need to.  

You ensure compliance with Polish labor law and tax requirements

Getting to grips with complex labor laws and tax requirements in a new country is a huge headache. It also tends to be a big worry. Fail to grasp just one complicated clause and you risk non-compliance.

However, when you partner with a PEO in Poland and they’ll take care of all of the following:

Tax requirements

Your PEO will ensure you fulfill all of your obligations with regards to Poland income tax (on behalf of your employees) and the Poland corporate tax rate (on behalf of your company).

Social security, pension, and benefit contributions

There’s no need to delve into the intricacies of Polish payroll. Instead, your PEO will ensure that deductions are made from employee salaries and that all employee and employer contributions are paid to the relevant authorities.

Your obligations under Polish employment law

A PEO in Poland will ensure that your business complies with all labor laws in the country. They’ll advise you that:

• The minimum wage is 3,010 PLN per month as of January 2022
• Employees are entitled to paid leave for a total of 13 national holidays
• Employees have to undergo a medical examination before you can offer an employment contract in Poland
• …and so much more besides.

Working with a global PEO minimizes the risk of doing business in Poland and offers you complete peace of mind. That’s because we’re experts in Polish employment law and know how to keep your business 100% compliant.

You offer a great employee experience

Wouldn’t it be great to offer your Polish employees a seamless onboarding experience and a carefully crafted benefits package?

With a PEO provider like Skuad, you can. You can also give employees access to an employee dashboard, where they can easily view payroll details and manage leave requests.

You get to focus on the bigger business picture

As you can see, a PEO in Poland takes a heap of work and worry off your plate. You can rest easy knowing that an expert team is handling all of your contractual, payroll, and HR obligations.

This gives you the time to focus on your core business and maximize the potential that global hiring provides.

What does it cost to build a team in Poland?

Should you incorporate a business in Poland or hire a PEO? Which works out as better value for money?

Company incorporation in Poland

Opening a legal entity in Poland is a multi-step process. You need to obtain the right paperwork, learn your PKD code and NACE code. You’ll need to sign your Articles of Association and undergo a formal registration. Each of these steps has a cost associated, both financial and (more importantly) in terms of your time.

The cost of registering may only be a few hundred USD, but there’s also the expensive legal support you’ll need, the fees attached to opening a Polish bank account for payroll, not to mention the unpredictable exchange fees you’ll have to deal with. It all adds up.
