16. Contractor Management3.
Having your B2B contractors on your books
means risking tax penalties in Poland
• The Enterpreneur Test (Test Przedsiębiorcy) is still
a matter of discussion
• The Polish Tax Offices and ZUS are beginning to
question the legality of B2B contracts
• In case of a negative decision, Companies will
have to:
▪ Give back all missing taxes and contributions to the
Social Security System with interest
▪ Pay fines – up to 150% of the missing amount
▪ Pay employees 3 years in backpay for their extra hours
and holidays
17. Huge legal, financial and PR risks
Today
B2B contractors lacking benefits
– a huge demotivating factor
Contractor skills often not well mapped
Feedback often not efficiently collected
Contractor engagement not measured
Empty positions in the case of contractor loss
High levels of contractor attrition
