Hiring Employees in Poland Without a Local Entity: ZUS, Payroll, Tax & Employment Rules for U.S. Companies
re you wondering what U.S.-to-Poland hiring looks like when you want to employ someone in Poland without opening a local office? In this article, we explain the issue from two perspectives at once: a Polish employee who wants to legally work from Poland for a U.S. company, and a U.S. HR / legal / payroll team that needs to understand how this works on the Polish side. The examples below are anonymized and simplified — they combine elements of several recurring situations we encounter at Biuro Rachunkowe Precyzja. That makes this article practical, while avoiding disclosure of any specific client’s data.
