temporary employment contract be terminated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 18 of the <em>Act of 9 July 2003 on the Employment of Temporary Workers <\/em>introduces the following rules that should be kept in mind in the context of <strong>terminating a temporary employment contract<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An employment contract concluded with a temporary worker terminates upon expiry of the period agreed between the parties for performing temporary work for a given user employer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A user employer who intends to discontinue the temporary worker\u2019s work before the end of the temporary work period agreed with the temporary employment agency should notify the temporary employment agency in writing of the expected termination date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The user employer must also immediately notify the temporary employment agency of the date and circumstances in which the temporary worker stopped performing work (due to failure to report to work without justifying the absence or refusal to continue performing temporary work).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"notice-period-for-a-temporary-worker-%e2%80%93-what-should-you-know\"><\/span>Notice period for a temporary worker \u2013 what should you know?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice periods for temporary employment contracts are significantly shorter than those applicable to standard employment contracts, which results from the flexible nature of this form of employment. According to Article 13(2) of the <em>Act of 9 July 2003 on the Employment of Temporary Workers<\/em>, if a contract with a temporary worker has been concluded for a period not exceeding two weeks, the notice period is only three days, allowing the employment relationship to be terminated quickly. In the case of temporary contracts concluded for a period longer than two weeks, the notice period is extended to one week, which is still significantly shorter than standard notice periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"temporary-work-and-the-employment-certificate-%e2%80%93-summary\"><\/span>Temporary work and the employment certificate \u2013 summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <strong>employment certificate<\/strong> contains detailed information about the completed employment relationship (including the period and type of work performed, annual leave taken and the reason why the employment relationship ended). A <strong>temporary worker<\/strong> is also entitled to receive this document. The content of the<strong> employment certificate for a temporary worker <\/strong>relates to the total completed period of employment with a specific temporary employment agency covered by consecutive employment contracts concluded within a period not exceeding 12 consecutive months. The document should include information concerning each user employer for whom temporary work was performed under an employment contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ SECTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-the-basic-rules-for-terminating-a-temporary-employment-contract\"><\/span>What are the basic rules for terminating a temporary employment contract?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important information on this topic is set out in Article 18 of the <em>Act of 9 July 2003 on the Employment of Temporary Workers<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-does-an-employment-contract-concluded-with-a-temporary-worker-terminate\"><\/span>When does an employment contract concluded with a temporary worker terminate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An employment contract concluded with a temporary worker terminates upon expiry of the period agreed between the parties for performing temporary work for a given user employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-issues-the-employment-certificate-to-a-temporary-worker\"><\/span>Who issues the employment certificate to a temporary worker?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The obligation to issue an employment certificate to a temporary worker lies with the temporary employment agency, which is the formal employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-notice-period-for-a-temporary-worker\"><\/span>What is the notice period for a temporary worker?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice period for a temporary worker is 3 days if the contract was concluded for a period of up to 2 weeks, or 1 week if the temporary employment contract was concluded for a period longer than 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Act of 9 July 2003 on the Employment of Temporary Workers (Journal of Laws 2003 No. 166, item 1608).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The currently applicable rules for terminating temporary employment contracts are an important issue for all participants in this three-party relationship, namely: the temporary employment agency, the<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":14300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26320"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26379,"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26320\/revisions\/26379"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niden.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
