Ending an employment relationship is never easy – and doing it right is especially important when you’re operating in a different legal environment. This guide was created with BPCC members in mind, to help foreign employers better understand how employment termination works under Polish law and avoid common pitfalls.
Whether you’re considering ending a contract by mutual agreement or planning a termination with notice, there are a number of rules and formalities to follow. In Poland, even a seemingly straightforward dismissal requires attention to detail – from how the notice period is calculated, to what the termination letter must include to be legally valid.
You’ll also find practical insights on protections for certain groups of employees, common mistakes that can lead to wrongful termination claims, and step-by-step suggestions for handling terminations in a structured and compliant way.
Of course, this guide doesn’t cover every possible scenario. If you’re looking for more in-depth guidance – whether on redundancies, notice period calculations, or drafting compliant termination letters – you’ll find additional resources and topic-specific guides on our website at www.dudkowiak.com.
